'BOTS Roomba Repurposed (Article)

Newsweek reports: "The sequel to the successful Roomba—1.2 million sold, the most ever for a home robot—will stick a little closer to familiar territory: it's an automated mop called Scooba, which looks and sounds like the Roomba but wets, washes and dries floors."

One of these days I will buy myself a Roomba, but now I also want the new Roomba Mop (Scooba). I think it would be awesome to have my little robot minions running around the house performing my menial tasks while I sit on the coach, watch TV, and surf the Net.

To be honest, I bet they're more trouble then they're worth, but the coolness factor is hard to ignore.
