Jindo/ARIN robodog eager to fill the AIBO void



South Korean inventor Eungsang Park's claimant to the AIBO throne, called either Jindo or ARIN (no one seems to be sure), this take on the robodog trumps Sony's dearly-departed by adding multimedia functionality (screen, speakers), realistic canine features, more horsepower, and, oddly enough, a sense of smell. Jindo/ARIN also sports numerous radios for communication and entertainment -- cellular, DMB, and WiFi (and probably WiBro), as far as we can tell -- along with a curiously-placed optical disk slot (or "room," as it were) and functional-but-silly joystick tail.
