OK get this. You’ve got a pet. A lovely soft cuddly moggy or doggy. You’ve also got a mobile phone or PC. What you need is a $1500.00 iSeePet.
This bizarre – and somewhat sad – little product lets you watch your pet from a distance via your broadband connection, cell phone or PC and a webcam built into the main unit. You can call little Fido, feed him by operating a feed gate remotely and generally make sure that he’s happy while you’re away.
