The race for "hot toy of the year" is on! One contender is the new Rocket the Wonder Dog from Fisher Price. Rocket is a robotic dog for ages 3 and up. Much
like
Sony's AIBO, the first robotic dog with a hefty $1,200 price
point,
the more affordable $120 Rocket has actions and emotions just like a
real
dog-and using voice recognition technology, listens and responds only
to
you!
Rocket even has a wireless headset that allows kids to communicate with
the
digital dog.
While Rocket doesn't eat food, he devours batteries. It requires 3 "D"
and
1 9-volt alkaline batteries for dog, plus 3 "AAA" alkaline batteries
for the
headset (not included of course.) Prices range from $99.99 to $119.99.
