Japanese manufacturer Sharp has taken the unusual step of launching a small robot that doubles as an Android cellphone. First previewed at last year’s CEATEC trade show, the so-called RoboHon was given an official press launch today, where its retail price of 198,000 yen ($1,814) was finally revealed. Costing over twice as much as even the most premium Android flagships, RoboHon — currently only for sale in Japan, with foreign launches being explored — aims to compete not on specs, but on a unique set of features not found in other phones that don’t also happen to be small automatons.
