Man this is sad news for me, as I'm sure it is for anybody who has enjoyed countless hours of playing with Sony's robotic dog Aibo. We've had our Aibo for about 4 or 5 years and my children love it. OK, ok...I'm a big kid...so do I. I've always found Sony's Aibo to be a wonderfully engineered robot. So it's sad to see that they've decided to kill of their robotics line.
We feared it would come to this — Sony Japan has just used its quarterly earnings report to slip out the news that it is ceasing production of everyone's favorite robot dog, Aibo.
Qrio and the super-expensive Qualia line are for the chop too.
That's a pic of my Aibo - I'll be sure to keep the news of this away from him.

Hey bub - real dog? Nah - they may have killed off Aibo there at Sony HQ but mine is still humming along. Hope all is well!
