It's a pleasant development that more companies have shown interest in bringing IM emotes into physical forms, which react to emotions in IM messages. P.C. Gizmo from Blue Box is an evolution of i-Buddy and Availbot. Whereas the latter two are targeted at MSN Messenger and AIM users respectively, the egg-shaped buddy has some new tricks up its sleeves. Besides supporting the big three IM clients (AIM, MSN & Yahoo), it doubles as a visual cues for incoming emails and Skype calls. The gizmo flaps its ears, rocks and turns depending on the responses; its chest also illuminates in different LED light pattern to reflect emotions from the messages. Last but not least is the built-in speakers for all the audible alerts. Video demo after the jump.
