news 28 Posted September 20, 2010 Modern home networking technology solutions integrate all types of home appliances and security devices that can be monitored from any smartphone or PC connected to the internet around the world. WowWee wanted a piece of the action and introduced the Rovio mobile webcam at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2008. Their goal with the Rovio was simple -- create a wireless and portable webcam that could be manipulated and viewed from any PC 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The ability to self dock with the charging station worked most of the time, but a couple times it had issues finding the station. The addition of a a smartphone app was forward-thinking and added to the effectiveness of the Rovio too. Overall, the Rovio was ahead of its time in 2008, but we are almost in 2011 so WowWee needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to migrate this device to present and future technologies."
