Last week at CES 2007 there were many amazing products announced. But how a fully functional R2-D2? Yes, there are two R2-D2 products from NIkko Electronics.

One is the R2-D2 Communications System that has a Skype-enabled handset shaped like a lightsaber as well as a video camera and more. The other is the R2-D2 Mobile Entertainment System, which boasts a high-quality projector, an iPod dock, USB and video ports, built-in speakers, and more. Oh yeah, and both of these geeky toys also roll around on the floor like the real R2-D2 does.

The "real" R2D2? I thought the "real" R2D2 was actually a very small guy in costume casing. You can even see him through R2's head for about two seconds in Episode IV.

Well, yes, Kenny Baker was in the R2-D2 of the original trilogy. But in the prequel trilogy they used a number of robotic R2-D2s. They switched out the robot when it had to climb up stairs and do other specialized things.
