Okay, it’s apparently available for about a year, but I just read about it in the new issue of the Bild der Wissenschaft¹, and it was new to me: miuro, the iPod dock and WLAN client that can dance and follow his master!
Official site: miuro.com (Japanese)
Without further investigation: I suppose the name results from “music robot”, or rather the re-transfer of its pronunciation from Japanese to Latin letters.
Oh, and I should mention a little disadvantage: the price of about 1000 € (e.g. at arktis.de)…
¹ Strangely, they spell it “Miouru” – did they get that from a French source?
