Cool! From HP! The robot only costs $1,500 but a two pack of extra sharpies for it costs $48,000. Before you can use it, you must install 5 petabytes of HP drivers.

Joking aside, I don't believe HP developed this product, they almost certainly bought the company that makes it.

My hunch?

Seen these things before.

I doubt it has been DRMd to hell yet, and I doubt they upgraded to show PC LOAD LETTER at all times, but why did they add this to their portfolio?

I think they did, actually. (I worked at HP for 19 years, and I know the guy in their Barcelona site who started it.)
