CES Updates: Paro And Keepon

Paro: Paro is still as cute and fluffy as ever; there are no hardware updates but Paro did get approval this year from the FDA to be sold as a medical device. Your insurance company still isn’t likely to pay for one if you get sick, but they’re working on that too.

Keepon: the big news here is that Keepon is getting redesigned with a new internal structure that reduces costs by a factor of ten without sacrificing any functionality. Four figures is still not a whole lot better than five as far as you and I buying one goes, but give it another year or two and maybe we’ll see another zero (or two, please make it two) chopped off of that price.
Oh, and thanks to a night out clubbing in Vegas with Marek Michalowski, I think I’ve figured out where Keepon gets his awesome dance moves.
Or maybe it’s the other way around.
