WowWee has just announced the release of their Chatterbot desktop companions - is your desktop ready?

The Chatterbots are available in three distinctly different models, all exuding their own wacky personality: Dog/Cat, Devil/Angel, and finally, the Fairy Godfather. Exploring each of their "dual personalities" is the key comedic element of these jokesters.

Listen in as they respond to what you type, where you browse, what you're listening to in iTunes... and the peppered-in random outbursts that will leave you laughing out loud, instead of actually finishing your work!

Here's an excerpt from the official press release:

"Bringing the likeness of Sigmund Freud's Id to desktops, cubicles, and college dorm rooms everywhere, WowWee, an Optimal Group company (NASDAQ: OPMR), has announced the launch of Chatterbot(TM) peripherals - fun, irreverent, animated computer gadgets that connect to a PC or Mac via USB cable. Whether surfing the web, chatting online, or typing a term paper, the Chatterbot accessories will comment on the user's virtual life with comical facts, quips, and physical reactions, serving as an outlet to the subliminal."
