Read the press release: It dances, but you have to program the movements and motions for every song. I'm sure people will do that for you, but it's not like it analyzes the stream and moves accordingly.
Wait wait wait wait.
So it's supposed to have mass appeal because it dances stupidly.
But to even get it to dance stupidly, you have to program it in yourself and expend effort that most people will never put into their machines?

Finally, something weird enough to play the Katamari Damacy soundtracks with. I think if I was wasting money on something like this, I'd rather have a humanoid robot dance.
All Sony needs to do now is create a viral marketing campaign about a frat boy who uses the internet to raise money to buy his own Rolly, and streams video of himself eating Rollies out of a dead goat.

This just gets better and better.
Oh dear lord, Hahaha. I can just see the amount of people not knowing this fact returning this thing complaining that their egg doesn't dance.
For realz though, this is a complete rip off of the Sansa Shaker, just with twice the memory.
"The Sansa Shaker features many ways to listen to and share songs. It has a built-in speaker to enjoy music without ear buds, to play your favorite music, and listen with your friends & family. Plus it comes with two headphone jacks. You also have the ability to play and share SD cards loaded with your favorite songs. (A SanDisk SD Memory card included) Changing songs on the Sansa Shaker is a snap – or rather, a “shake”. You can impress your friends by shaking the device to jump to the next song, or use the colorful controller bands for forward and backward changing as well to manipulate volume. " Link
The Eggthing plays music and dances a dance that will cause you to gouge out your eyes, because it will trace the shape of three hundred and fifty dollars wasted on a dancing egg into everything you hold dear.
Imagine dropping this thing on accident and having it shatter into 350 pieces.
Rolly Rolly sat on a wall.
Rolly Rolly had a great fall.
All the Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaaaacer's horses and all the giant enemy crabs'men
Couldn't put Rolly together again.
I've got the sneaking suspicion that, were this made by any other company, people would be a fuckton more forgiving. Granted, the same problems people have would be just as valid, that it's nothing more than a novelty gimmick that's way overpriced at $350. Everybody would just say that it was cute, but they would never buy one, and that it probably should have stayed in R&D where it belonged.
But it's Sony, so it automatically gets an F- from every chucklehead who can come up with a simple egg joke. Ok then.

Not really, other companies probably don't have as much money to gamble on something like this, money or prestige. Apple would kill itself before it did something like this and so would Microsoft. I mean, how would those companies look when they have this thing sitting on shelves next to a Zune or an iPod... they'd totally ruin their image.
Now if it was something else, like iRiver, well then they would be making a really big financial gamble on this sort of thing and it probably wouldn't get passed the conceptual stage due to they are already enough in a tight and competitive market. They would much rather have something better than someone else rather than something totally unique and crazy. They would probably instead opt to do something like reinvent the interface or some other feature than come up with the egg.
Now if the egg is supposed to be some kind of toy, okay, maybe. Then it would be popular to kids perhaps, except kids already have fuckin' iPods, and $350 is too pricey, even though the novelty factor would be well suited for kids. So you have to wonder who the fuck they were hoping to market this thing to?

Holy crap, an online community for exchanging my Rolly dance routines with other people!?
I feel horrible for judging it so soon. I must have one, now.
Wait wait wait wait.

This just gets better and better.

Well lets see.
The PSP plays games, videos, movies.
The Eggthing plays music and dances a dance that will cause you to gouge out your eyes, because it will trace the shape of three hundred and fifty dollars wasted on a dancing egg into everything you hold dear.
According to that link you can get one with the same amount of memory at 1/7th the price.
