IT'S OFFICIAL! The HERO mimobot that I wrote about a couple of weeks ago has arrived and is shipping right now. The HERO ranges in price from $49-$149, and comes in 256MB to 2GB capacities. As we all know, they go quick, so hurry and place your orders!

Mimoco sure are busy bots folks, because the mimobots keep on a-coming. Just announced as part two of the Flying Cat X Series is the Corrupted_Data mimobot, designed by Jon Burgerman. It features the music of UK-based Penfold Plum. Mimoco gives a colorful description of the latest bot:

"Corrupted_Data is a dancing mêlée of all your important ones and zeros, turned to mush by an unexpected surge of electricity. Important financial documents have morphed into showery black clouds, your mp3's have curled at the edges and gone crispy and all your favourite photos have gone from jpegs to jumping king-bird-fish heads."

Pre-order Corrupted_Data mimobot ($49-$149; 256MB-2GB).
