As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have a rabbit. But seeing as we live in a 1st floor flat, we can’t really have a real rabbit. But instead, my girlfriend Joanne got me a Nabaztag rabbit, I named him Rowdy (after JD’s stuffed dog).

So I’ve had Rowdy for a few weeks now. I must admit, our first night with him was a problematic. Annoyingly I had problems setting him up. I do believe that alot of the problems I had are down to the manufacturers Violet. They provided details of how to get him connected to the WiFi, but that’s it. They then simply point you to my.nabaztag.com for everything else. The site is pretty easy to use, although it has to be as they obviously don’t believe in explanations, help or how to’s. The amount of support from Violet is pretty disapointing.

On the plus side though, as the support from Violet has been so poor, it has ‘forced’ the user community to grow. Searching for ‘nabaztag’ produces over 2million results, alot of which are user sites and forums.

So, I’ve managed to for 2 paragraphs without actually saying what he does. So here’s a ‘quick’ summary of what he does;

• Has moods (at random times through the day, he will complain, winge, or show he’s happy)
• Receive messages (Friends are able to send messages to the rabbit through the website and he’ll read them out, plus there is a facebook application for this to!)
• ‘Predicts’ the weather (My rabbit is scheduled at 10pm each day
