"AIBO Messenger" ERF-210AW04
With this application AIBO will play happily, automatically checking for e-mails on a regular basis or when you ask it to. When you have received e-mail it will tell you, as well as telling you who it is from and the title of it. You can then tell your AIBO Entertainment Robot to read this out to you, and watch it perform various actions to particular key words as it reads. For example, if it reads the word 'Hello', AIBO will take a bow. Please note that this software will only work with a MAPI mail software, such as Outlook Express 5.5.
You can also ask AIBO to read out your favourite web sites for you. From the control panel you can set the URLs of your five favourite web sites and then you can ask your AIBO at any time to read out the page number that corresponds to the URL of the web page you want to hear. Please note that this functionality will only work with Internet Explorer 5 or higher, and the web pages that you choose should not contain frames as AIBO will not be able to read these.
Finally, you can ask AIBO for an update on the time at any time, which AIBO will happily give. You can also set AIBO with a reminder at a particular time and set the words that AIBO will use to remind you of this event.
There are three different voices that you can choose from for AIBO to use, and you can actually choose 2 different voices if you wish, so that AIBO will perform different functions with different voices. There is also an option to change the pronunciation of various words, so that you can ensure that AIBO always pronounces all of your friends' names correctly.
