The WowWee robot, Femisapien, was presented during the CES as a dancing female robot.

But it’s so much more than that. Femisapien is the latest in the line of WowWee’s interactive robots. Femisapien has the capability to respond to your gestures, sounds, and touches. The robot has three modes available: the Attentive Mode; the mode wherein Femisapien interacts with people, the Learning Mode to program a routine of movements, and the Responsive Mode to play back those recorded movements. To note, Femisapien’s hands are interactive joysticks which you can use to change and control her movements. And if you got other WowWee bots in the house, the Femisapien could control them all — even sans the whip and the dominatrix boots.

The gaming community is buzzing this morning from some supposedly leaked scans of a possible PSPhone would give it a full 480 x 272 display, mini-analog stick, and drop UMD in favor of playing full PSP games via M2. Turns out they’re scans from Stuff magazine from months ago, which seems to have passed under everyone’s radar (including our own, initially) because so few people seem to actually read it.

“New in 2008: July-Dec
Top box: Between both keyboards there is a 3 inches screen with the same resolution of the PSP (480×272 pixels) which guarantees a good gaming experience. Good as well for movies.

Lower right box: PSP functionalities were replicated in this architecture, making possible that all PSP games can be played. It won’t have UMD slot, but it’ll have M2 cards instead

Left box: Slide on one side and you’ll find a joypad with analog stick for PSP controls. Slide to the other side and a number keyboard will show up enjoying the ergonomics of Sony Ericsson.

Plenty of opinion, final word: Probability of existence: 35%”

We know, Valentine’s Day 2008 has come and gone, but if you’ve managed to hold on to your SO through the Hallmark-inspired holiday, chances are you won’t need these services anyway. For those waking up solo, however, you should probably listen up. South Korea’s KTF has launched a seductive new service — rightfully dubbed Love Detector — for its subscribers which will actually “analyze voice patterns to see if a lover is speaking honestly and with affection.” In an interesting twist, the data is actually only shown to the customer who coughs up ₩1,500 ($1.58) per month (or less per call), so don’t expect to secretively find out if your lover has another lover waiting next door via voice analysis.

Now you can scratch yours all over again.

Ever wanted a phone powered by water? Well both Angstrom Power and Motorola have developed hydrogen-powered cell phones. The phones work with a Hydrogen fuel cell that extracts hydrogen from water and then extracts electrons from the hydrogen. Sounds pretty cool, hopefully these water phones make it to the store shelves eventually.
