I'm soooooo getting one of these.
TOKYO - After selling 300,000 pet-lovers on the Bowlingual gadget that supposedly translates a dog's bark into human language, a toymaker hopes to parlay that success into a new hit product: Meowlingual.
The cat-shaped machine set to go on sale in Japan in November translates meows and purrs into human phrases such as "I can't stand it," although exact wording hasn't been decided yet, Tokyo-based Takara Co. said Wednesday.
The translation device will likely sell for about $74, slightly cheaper than the $125 Bowlingual, which has been a big hit in Japan.
Both gadgets use scientific data on animal sounds from a Tokyo laboratory that also analyzes human voices, helps solve crime and takes part in designing software for mobile phones.
A really practical goodie! Well...for someone, I guess. >^--^<
