A while back, it was announced that the WowWee Rovio was available for pre-order through a UK online retailer, Red5.

Now, robot fanatics from the US will have their chance to get their Rovio on pre-order as well, through Hammacher Schlemmer.  The Rovio is a brand new, super-advanced "mobile webcam" that can be controlled through any web browser.  You'll be able to keep an eye on your precious home from afar, and maybe even spook the family dog or cat, or spy on someone's cubicle if you're feeling particularly sneaky.

The Rovio is listed on Hammacher Schlemmer for a pre-order price of USD $299.95, with an expected ship date of 09/26/2008.  Make sure that you zip over now before you lose your chance to get your hands on the most revolutionary new home telepresence robot.
