Whether you’re looking to track your dogs on a bird hunt or just want to make sure you know where they are on your property, Garmin’s new and improved Astro GPS Dog Tracking System is the perfect tool for keeping tabs on your pooches. The system includes a lightweight DC 30 collar and an Astro 220 receiver, which pinpoints exactly where your dog is and what he’s doing. Designed specifically for hunting, Garmin’s Astro GPS Dog Tracking System works in dense cover, has a seven-mile range, and can support ten dogs simultaneously. The device is capable of identifying hunting-specific objects, like ATV’s, bird flushes, and raccoons. And when the receiver’s not in use, it doubles as a hand held GPS that you can use in your car, boat, etc.

The Astro GPS Dog Tracking System will run you $650, with one DC 30 collar included. Each additional collar will go for $200. The system is expected to hit stores in the third quarter of 2008.

Sega is on a roll with its innovative personal robots. Back on Tuesday we showed you the company’s new E.M.A. “robotic girlfriend.” Now, Sega has released the A.M.P. (Automated Music Personality) Ampbot, a 2.4-foot robot that follows you around bumping your music, dancing, and letting you scratch on its turntable hands. The two-wheeled robot comes with a built-in MP3 or iPod cradle on its back, which you can control via a wireless remote. Built into the chest is a 5-inch mid-range speaker in the chest as well as two tweeters in the shoulder. Using six D and three AAA batteries, the Ampbot will pump out music for up to 10 hours. Priced at $500, the Sega Ampbot will hit stores in the U.S. and Japan in November.

Here’s any easy way to fulfill your Asian fetish. Known as the “robotic girlfriend,” Sega’s E.M.A. (Eternal Maiden Actualization) is a 15-inch robot capable of handing out business cards, singing, dancing, and walking “like a lady.”

On the plus side, she’ll give you a kiss when you get close to her face. On the negative side, you’ll have to get over her FUPA, which is in no way gives her a “glamorous body,” as Sega claims.

Infrared sensors on the battery-powered Sega E.M.A. detect obstacles, position and sound. Moveable parts include the elbow, shoulders, waist and knees. Although she won’t do anything dirty, the E.M.A. comes in at only $175. Fortunately, she’s cheaper than a trip to a quality karaoke bar.

Last week we told you about how you can use Myvu’s video glasses to create a theater-like experience with your iPod. Now at Computex, Chinese technology company Honlai has unveiled a new dock-style concept projector capable of beaming the image from your first generation iPod onto the wall in front of you. While it might not create the ideal theater experience, this could come in handy for displaying your slide shows, playing YouTube videos, and surfing the internet in the dark. With the release of the 3GB iPhone, hopefully the market for Honlai’s portable iPhone projector will be large enough soon that the company can start production.
