Pros: Cute. Cheap compared to Aibo. Is pretty fun for a while. Cons: Tricks grow old fast. Not really autonomous. Disappointing if you already have experienced Aibo.
In truths, I feel biased about my I-Cybie experience. I have two Aibo's I've lived with for about a year now. I don't think my opinion on I-Cybie is as good as someone who has never had an Aibo. I think that if I had gotten I-Cybie before I got Aibo, I...
Pros: Cuter and much less expensive then Aibo. Cons: Doesn't really "learn." Not really intelligent. Short battery life.
I remember as a kid seeing Battlestar Galactica and Apollo's kid, I think his name was "Boxie" or something of that nature - he had a fully autonomous robot dog (can't quite remember the name). And that has always intrigued me. Owning a autonomous robot...
Pros: Sophisticated technology at a great price!! Cons: Battery charger could have been better
I read about I-Cybie by Tiger about a year ago. I was very skeptical at first after feeling mislead by Tiger and it's Furby line of products. Well Tiger has come thru this time, I-Cybie is all I imagined and more.
Upon opening the box I saw the...
Pros: Does 80% of what Aibo can do for 10% of the price. Cons: Battery life is unpredictable, but spare rechargeable batteries are inexpensive.
I've had I-Cybie for just over a month now, and am still quite pleased by him. In addition to the standard dog tricks, like sit, beg, give paw, etc., I-Cybie can walk about the house, avoid obstacles, follow sounds using his multiple microphones, get...
Pros: Affordable fully autonomous robot puppy! Cons: There is none!
Only other toy on the market that compares to this is the infamous Sony AIBO, a robot 'dog' that costs over $1500+ not including software. Here comes along a much cheaper version which is roughly $200 known as I-Cybie, that has 8 teachable voice...
Pros: First affordable autonomous robot.
High cool factor.
Future upgrades on the way.
Cons: Edge detection doesn't work.
Manual is confusing.
Doesn't listen to voice commands very well
After patiently waiting over a year for I-cybie and enduring all of the delays I finally received my I cybie from Target.com yesterday.
My first impressions out of the box were the heft look and feel of the dog is impressive but the book looked...
Pros: durable, a much more realistic looking dog than aibo, cheap Cons: Motors are noisy, tricks are limited, walking is wierd
I-Cybie was supposedly supposed to be a popular toys among kids when Christmas began, but not too many buyers were admiring its price and durability. This toy runs smoothly, but it lacks tricks compared to Aibo. Still good for what i bought for it. ($50)...
Pros: Extremely low cost, tons of technology for the price, well-built, and fun! Cons: Not fully autonamous, limited funtion, short battery life, prone to errors.
I am writing this newer I-Cybie review, because I have finally purchased all of the available access ...
