Jibo - Family Robot

I suspect that many will have buyers remorse. It seems to me that the device is unlikely to do anything beyond what the video shows. Most buyers, I think, will infer that if it can do A, then why not B. Not to say that it isn't cool, but it is cool in the same way that some new battery-powered Xmas toy is cool until two days later. IMO.

On a related note, my BIL was the lead programmer for this "amazing" product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LOamCjjxwo
