World's cutest smartphone robot can be yours for a hefty price tag

The cutest robo-smartphone ever made is hitting shelves in Japan next month - but is it cute enough to drop almost 1,300? RoBoHoN (which translates roughly as "heart moving phone") is an adorable tiny robot, which doubles up as a smartphone. Or is it a smartphone that doubles up as a robot? Either way, the happy little bot is a surprisingly powerful piece of technology in its own right. Created by Japanese electronics firm Sharp, RoBoHoN is a 20cm tall robot phone. It'll read out phone messages, announce phone calls and even shout at you when it's time to wake up.
