This is probably the silliest thing I saw at CES. It's silly, but I was drawn to it, like the force was pulling me over to the booth because R2D2 had a message for me.
Or maybe it's just because they were big shiny Star Wars toys. Yeah, let's go with that. The first is the R2-D-2 Wireless Webcam. Yep, point R2D2 at yourself, plug it into your PC and bamm, R2D2 is putting your mug up on the web so you can make your own messages for help.
It comes with the a Lightsaber (which is actually kinda cool), it's a VoIP phone that allows you to make Skype calls.

This is the R2-D2 Digital Audio & Video Projector. This one is pretty cool, with bays and latches and catches everywhere on it. Can't tell you how good the projection is because you really couldn't throw an image anywhere.

These things are a Star Wars geek dream. I couldn't get word on how much or when they would be released, but I will keep my eye out. Until then, may the force be with you.
