What’s all the hype for the Sony Rolly?

August 1, 2008

I’m not sure what all the hype is for this waste of technology. Granted I haven’t had my hands on one but just looking at this video it doesn’t look all that durable. One good roll of the counter and BAM! there goes one of those cute little winged ends across the floor and before you can react, doggy has it chewed into a thousand gummy little pieces.

On their site this is the tag line:
“Experience a revolutionary new breakthrough in music enjoyment from Sony®. After years of development, the Rolly™ Sound Entertainment Player takes MP3s to a new dimension of fun.”

Really? How long can you be entertained by this? If your autistic, probably hours. Otherwise if this is your biggest attraction at a party, you and your friends are a complete losers.

Sony posted a 45 million dollar loss and this is how they expect to trim that up?
