Walking iPhone Robot gives your gadget some dubious mobility
DVICE Atom Feed —
... from a beer can to a tissue box into a bipedal 'bot. Now, he's used it to give his iPhone legs.
Right now the whole setup is a little rudimentary. Kazu's PuchiRobo legs need to a computer to keep them moving, though he'd like to add a chip to the setup so that it can process the movements on its own.

... is a lazy, yet noble endeavor. Unfortunately, a couple of kinks have to be worked out before this can be a viable product. First of all, it still requires a laptop to coordinate the movements. Second, it is very gimpy (watch in horror as it stands up the edge of a table then hurls itself off). At any rate, his plan is to develop autonomous robot legs that can be attached to any device—which sounds good. He has a little work to do on the design though.

We carry the iPhone, so anything that goes with it, goes well with us. Though, we’ll wish to see the bot go independent, so that is programmed to move freely. We learn that Kazu intends to add a chip to the setup for the same purpose, therefore we have all praises and wishes for the lad.

The Walking iPhone
Krunker —
... based on another product he was involved with called the “PuchiRobo” - a robot kit which turns nearly anything into a walking robot. He even wrote an iPhone application for the moving eyes on the phone’s display (kinda creepy if you ask me). I have to admit that I did think this was pretty cool (even though I did gasp when the iPhon fell over onto the display) initially.. and then thought.. what the heck would one do with a walking iPhone? Oh well… inventors will invent!
