Nabaztag/tag features:
Nabaztag/tag offers the same services as Nabaztag but now comes with additional features.
- A Navel / Microphone: Previously, to interact with Nabaztag, give him instructions, or send him messages, you needed to use a computer. Nabaztag/tag, on the other hand has been given new sensory capabilities. This navel/microphone opens the way for new applications:
- Voice activation: Talk to your rabbit. Give him orders. For example: "New York weather!" and Nabaztag/tag will tell you. "Footsie!" and you'll get the FT index. "Play dead!" and Nabaztag/tag goes to sleep...
- Voice messages: You can now send a message by speaking it into the Rabbit's navel. Answer your friends' messages. Engage in Rabbit to Rabbit conversations with friends or other members of the Nabaznaut community.
- Ambient noise detection: By analysing the surrounding sound level, the microphone can guess if someone is in the room. People who send you messages can decide that they will only be played when someone is there to receive them.
- Audio Streaming: Nabaztag/tag can now stream sound continuously from any sound source on the internet or your PC ( this was previously limited to 45 seconds ). You can play internet radio, access podcasts or listen to your music collection as well as setup your own play-lists.
- Audio out: Nabaztag/tag now has an audio output (mini-jack plug) through which you can connect him to external speakers or headphones. The plug is also a way to connect Nabaztag/tag to objects that react to music, but are not smart. For instance, you could connect an iDog to Nabaztag/tag. Your friends will thus be able to send messages to your dog, too.
- WPA encryption: Nabaztag/tag now includes WEP encryption: in addition to the WEP standard already used in Nabaztag. He can now connect to any WPA-protected Wi-Fi network.
- New Volume Switch: Which looks like a bunny tail.
In addition...
Nabaztag/tag's most revolutionary new talent is undoubtedly his ability to "sniff" other objects.
- Nabaztag/tag is fitted with an RFID tag reader. RFID comes in the shape of a label, or tag, which can be affixed to any item in order to make it identifiable. In the future Nabaztag/tag will be able to recognise any item and therefore 'perceive' the presence of such objects. For example - wave your house keys under Nabaztag/tag's nose to tell him you're home, and he'll instantly email your partner to let them know. Let him smell a deck of cards, and he'll play with you. Dress up your Rabbit in Samurai garb, and he might start talking Japanese. Assign a Nabaztag/tag action or behaviour to each of your everyday objects. This feature will be developed in 2007.

I love my new Nabaztag now that we are getting along. I didn't like the fact that when I opened my parcel he has eaten my free pack of sweets from Firebox!
We are equal now as I have eaten one of his tasty ears (evil grin!)
That aside, I love how he wakes me up with some random music. I hate how he reminds me I need to walk the dog.
James, Cumbria - Jan '08 |
He's my best friend.
Tim Armstrong, Hertfordshire - Jan '07 |
The best thing about the bunny is you can talk to other people through it - I found me some sexy girls to message.
Graham, Manchester - Mar '07 |
I really really want one of these, because I've just got a wireless router, and I'm saving up for some surround sound speakers, but I dont know weather to scrap that and just get a Nabaztag/tag. I think there's more chance of getting a Nabaztag/tag, because it's cheaper than the speakers. If I do get one, I'm going to call it Naboozle, but I still need to save up more money, then again I get pocket money soon....
Dan, Harrogate - Apr '07 |
I love my tag/tag! It's really cool. I feel weird talking into her belly though. I see that you have two pairs of ears for sale. I hope you will be selling more nabaztag ears since you have the cheapest prices and you're the only one that ships the new ears to the United States.
Minerva, New Orleans, LA USA - Feb '07 |
Am I the only one who finds it strange to be talking through a rabbits navel? lol! This looks insanely cute!!
Kittywolf13, Florida, USA - Nov '06 |
Amazing product... This is going to be huge in the UK...
Fergus, London - Sep '06 |
Got my Nabaztag as a birthday present. What can I say - he is just excellent!! Everyone should have one of these fun little critters.
Emma, Lenham - Aug '06 |
Best gadget I have ever bought!! Total class!!
Mike Scott, Great Yarmouth - Jul '06 |
This thing is great, I've been writing my own services for it for a while now. Every Sunday morning at 9am it pops up and tells me how many lottery numbers I matched (nope, hasn't made my chances of winning any greater, but cool nonetheless!).
One tip, dont make a public way for people to send you messages, I did, and all day I had a torrent of abuse coming out of my living room!

Who needs bones and dog food? This interactive desktop doggie only requires music and a little attention to stay amused! Better still, i-dog's personality develops according to the tunes he's fed. He'll even nod his head, flash his lights and wag his ears in appreciation. Dog-gone amazing!

Why bother booting up your laptop to find Wi-Fi hotspots when you can seek them out with this nifty handheld gizmo? Simply hit the scan button in a highly Jack Bauer fashion and the detector will sniff out a signal and display specific info, including signal strength, network ID, encryption status and channel.

Why store valuable data and Death Star plans on flimsy CDs when you can use classic Star Wars characters that double as USB memory sticks? Ultra-cool and highly collectable, Mimobots make other storage solutions look about as hip as a pile of womp rat droppings!
