Like rats to the Pied Piper, the Robot Boombox will follow your footsteps wherever you go. Simply plug your iPod into the 11-pound Miuro, (which, frankly, looks like Humpty Dumpty after his great fall) or stream music wirelessly from your PC, and use the handheld remote to make your tunes tag along during household chores. Your friends will likely be impressed — not only with the Kenwood speakers, but because Miuro, $930, comes in four colors (white, yellow, red, and black) and can dance on demand. Unlike the rats, or other household pets, though, you can add sensors to this loyal companion and program it to remember your regular routines around the house. If only it could vacuum, too. — Drew Thompson
