Found Footage: A robot with an iPod touch for a brain
Thanks to a little Twitter birdie named Guy Kawasaki, we learned about this little humanoid robot (Robochan!) who has an iPod touch as a brain, user interface, and "face".
It appears that Robochan might have a slight drinking problem (he falls over when he walks), and we're not quite sure about whether the elevator music playing in the background is emanating from his speaker or not, but this is a very cool use for an iPod touch.
Inquiring minds want to know: are any TUAW readers hard at work on a fembot with an iPhone for a brain?

Neat!
With the announced 3.0 Bluetooth support, you could use another iPhone/iPod as a remote controller and never need to touch the robot.

I don't care what people say. Those faces are just retarded. Please start absorbing other cultures please! Enough pervertedness, enough Hello Kitty, enough overly exaggerated media.
