Nabaztag (Armenian for “rabbit”) is a Wi-Fi enabled ambient electronic device in the shape of a rabbit. Nabaztag was designed to be a “smart object” comparable to those manufactured by Ambient Devices; it can connect to the Internet (for example to download weather forecasts, read its owner’s email, etc.).
The company went bankrupt in 2009 due to the long period of technical difficulties, and was bought over by Mindscape.
I believe it has a lot of potential, once all the technical difficulties can be sorted out. Hopefully with a new ownership, this will be possible.
