Rabbit with colored lights

The Nabaztag Smart Rabbit from Violet is a "smart object" connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi. The high-tech bunny is linked to the Nabaztag Web site and lights up and/or wiggles its ears to convey various data drawn from the Net. It can also be programmed to read RSS feeds, e-mails and text messages out loud. And it can also play owners' MP3s. Here, a Nabaztag lets its owner know that an e-mail is waiting.
