IZI robotics' Netoy offers services such as weather, news, and audiobook playback via ISP services offered in its local market, Korea. Don't call the little fellow a glorified alarm clock, though: he is described as an "emotional robot," which, while clearly referring to its cute, content-responsive moulded face, adds that sinister note of artifically-intelligent psychopathology without which no robotics blog post is complete.
The Netoy weighs about half a kilo, gets its content via WiFi and stores it in 128MB of RAM, half of it nonvolatile. It sports a 1.5" LCD display, and the specs indicate some kind of touch-sensitive capability: perhaps it becomes happy if you stroke it.
