Bandai has introduced Smartpet, a robotic dog that uses your iPhone as its face and control center, reports The Verge.
Controlled via a free app, Smartpet will react to your touchscreen gestures with over 100 facial expressions, and you can make it do tricks by voice commands or movements in front of the Facetime camera. As the pet gets more emotionally attached to you it'll learn more reactions, and it can also sing and dance with other dogs via Bluetooth. It's not all fun and games, though, as Smartpet also functions as an alarm clock and handsfree phone.
The Smartpet will reportedly be released in Japan on April 24th for around ¥6,500 ($78) in black and white.
