Specification :

Are you into MSN Messenger? If the answer is yes, you need to stop msn-ing about with virtual icons and get yourself an e-Buddy. This smart little USB-friendly character looks just like the pixellated figure that pops up on screen every time a contact logs on. The difference is, e-Buddy is the real deal. Well as real as a translucent 3" figurine with a big glowing head and wings can be.
Sit e-Buddy on your monitor or desk and it will respond to incoming MSN messages in its own charming way. You can even program it to react to one specific account - ideal for that special someone. But here' s the clever bit: as well as alerting you to your contacts' status, e-Buddy detects emotions ( via emoticons) within messages and reacts accordingly.
Log on to MSN and wait for someone to send a message
Buddy detects the emoticons in the message
And then displays the emotions!
Buddy is angry!
For instance if someone puts a heart emoticon in their message, e-Buddy' s head glows and it twists and flaps its wings. And if the blushing emoticon is detected, e-Buddy will glow red. Even cuter, a gleaming red heart in e-Buddy' s chest illuminates whenever a contact is online.
With e-Buddy mounted on your monitor you can stroll over to the water cooler without having to worry about missing a message from a special friend. Simply keep an eye on this angelic-looking thingamajig' s status and race back when it starts getting in a flap.
Ideal for MSN fans of all ages, e-Buddy brings the familiar yet mysterious Messenger figure to life like never before. We always thought it looked like a dumpy ches
s pawn with arms, but now we' ve seen it in the flesh ( well, the plastic) it' s taken on a whole new persona. In fact, if you' re a fan of instant messaging, e-Buddy is a must-have accessory. So stop msn-ing about and get ordering!
