    WiFi plastic rabbit can forecast the weather


    A nine inch high plastic rabbit (pictured right) with WiFi
    connectivity could become the next high-tech craze in a long line of
    gizmos from the dancing flowers to the Tamagotchi.

    Manufactured by three year-old French company Violet, backed by the
    French bank BNP Paribas, the rabbit, called Nabaztag (which is the
    Armenian word for rabbit) can repeat your mobile phone messages, read
    emails, recount weather forecasts, alert you to news items, relay
    traffic news and act as a verbal aide memoire.

    It also changes colour, sings, flashes and waggles its ears.

    Nabaztag costs ?80.
