The Sony Rolly - The Dancing MP3 Player
You may have seen pictures of this strange new device from Sony all over the Internet and thought what the hell is that ?
The Rolly from Sony is a mixture of an audio player with 1GB of memory, and wireless speakers.
Confused ? well it has a battery life of 5 hours on the internal memory of 4 hours 30 minutes on music which is streamed via Bluetooth.
You can place the Rolly on the floor or a desk, and it will dance about to the music.
Check out this video of it in action.
I have to say, this is one of the coolest gadgets I have seen in ages, no pricing or release dates available yet, but if Sony price it right they could have a hit on their hands.

Has Sony Lost The Plot With The PS3?
What the hell are Sony up to now you may ask, first off they announced a price cut earlier this week with the PS3 in the US from $599 ( about £300)to $499 (about £250), they also announced that the US would be getting an 80GB model.
Now they have decided that the 60GB model will be removed from the US, and they will only get the 80GB model, confused yet ?
It gets worse, no 80GB PS3 for the UK, don’t worry we are getting some ‘60GB starter pack’, with no price drop, but you do get a few games and some Sixaxis controllers.
The free games on offer are Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Genji: Days of the Blade, Formula One Championship Edition and Ridge Racer .
Oh and guess what the PS3 price will stay the same in the UK, that is a whole £125 more expensive than the US version with a smaller HD too, but don’t forget we get free games!
The PS3 has struggled to gain popularity amongst gamers due to its high price, and lack of any real blockbuster games.
The UK is getting the Xbox 360 Elite here next month, which will cost about £300, and they are expecting their £425 PS3 console to compete in the UK market, when if you really want a PS3 you can import one from the US a whole lot cheaper.
It is about time Sony pulled their heads out of their asses, look at the competition Sony , you have the very popular Nintendo Wii, and the Xbox 360.
You would have thought that Sony would have learn’t by now that consistency across all markets is important for a products survival.
