Tankbot by DeskPets is a Hoot

DeskPets has released several desk-type toys and the Tankbot is their latest creation.  It works on its own or remotely controlled with an iPhone, iPod, or iPad. The MSRP is US$25.00 and is available in orange, lime green, blue, and gray.

To take advantage of the remote control aspects of the Tankbot users must download the free DeskPets app from the App Store. Here’s the icon, so you’ll recognize it.

Do I recommend it?

I do.  If nothing else, get it for the dads, uncles, and grown up cousins so they will have their own toys on Christmas morning.  They really don’t want any more ties.
