KTF_CW100_Cleaning_Bot.jpg

Think the Roomba isn't all that? KTF, the South Korean telecom company, has announced the CW100, a cleaning robot that can be controlled by a 3G cellphone, according to Engadget.

In comparison to the Roomba, the CW100 looks kind of brick-like--that is, if we're talking about round bricks. But unlike the Roomba, the CW100 features a built-in video camera that sends live images of what it sees to a cell phone--call it a Vacuum Cam. From there, the user can view the live video feed and control the vacuum with the phone's keypad.

The firm is selling the CW100 in South Korea for about $370 US, though it requires a separate data plan that costs about $3.70 per month. Sounds like a deal to us.
