Another truly innovative product of cross branding and product development courtesy of Apple and ZMP Inch. After the onslaught of Apple vs. PC Commercials we are dealt everyday, Apple has stepped it up by pushing the iPod Music Player to the extreme-ly weird.

A new Japanese robot Miuro is turning heads as it turns an iPod music player into a dancing boombox on wheels. The 14 inch machine from ZMP Inc. blares music as it jives through your living room. Apple’s iPod player locks on the top of the Miuro robot and comes in black, red, or yellow.

The cost of the Miruo? A staggering $930. The 11 pound Miruo has a gentle look unlike many of the newer robotics emerging from large corporations. The robot went on sale officially on Thursday in Japan and is expected to become available overseas at the end of 2007. ZMP is hoping to sell 10,000 Miuros the first year. Another fun thing you can do with the Miruo is add a camera and sensors to the robot to help it remember routes throughout your house. Creepy and cool all in the same bundle!
