Wi-Fi bunny

Rafi Haladjian, chairman of French company Violet, showing the company's latest product, a Wi-Fi bunny called 'Nabaztag'. The name means ‘rabbit’ in Armenian, the mother tongue of its creator.

The plastic bunny with ears like TV antennae can read out e-mails and mobile phone text messages, tell children to go to bed, alert one to a stock collapse and give traffic updates by receiving Internet feeds via a wireless Wi-Fi network.

The bunny stands 23 cm tall and has a white cone-like body that lights up when it speaks. It can also wiggle its ears and sing songs.
