Ok, ok, I see that a nabaztag is a rip-off of the Japanese "PostPet" (a pink email robot teddy-bear) of the 1990s. The user experience of the Japanese "PostPet" was fuckquing fantastic and it WAS a cult item in Japan for five years. However, the PostPet ran on worst-in-world Sony software which crashed hourly. The users, mostly young women, rebelled against the product and it went to No 1 to a shamefull product in recent years. (There should be a mandatory death penalty for all the crappy software SONY puts out---once again SONY commits economic treason).
