ApriPoko: The Ultimate Robot Friend/Personalized Universal Remote Control

Looks like Toshiba's failure with HD DVD has spurred them into entering the remote control market, and this time it looks to be no holds barred. The 5 pound, 11-inch ApriPoko can detect infrared signals from home theater devices resulting in the android asking you, "What did you just do?". If you tell ApriPoko you just ordered an on-demand movie, it will commit the command to memory so the next time you want to do the same thing you can just tell your robot friend to do it for you. By learning about your behavior through Q&A, ApriPoko functions as the ultimate personalized universal remote. ApriPoko is still in the R&D stages but is expected to eventually be released to the consumer market.
