This is quite possibly the coolest consumer device I’ve ever seen:

No, it’s not a replica of R2-D2 from the Star Wars films… well, it is… but it’s also a very cleverly disguised audio and video projector. Check out the features:

  • Picture by DLP from Texas Instruments
  • Project to ceilings and walls up to a 260-inch picture
  • Resolution: 1024x768
  • Contrast Ratio: 1800:1
  • Lumens: 1500
  • Built-in CD/DVD player. Also plays MP3/MP4 video
  • iPod docking station, memory card and USB slots
  • Built-in 20 watt stereo speaker system
  • FM wireless audio out (channels 1 through 7)
  • Full-function: forward, reverse turn 360 degrees and recline
  • Millennium Falcon remote control with removable stand
  • Head turns using Millennium Falcon remote control
  • Plays the most popular R2-D2 sound effects

That all sounds pretty cool, but if you’re still not sold then watch this video. This thing is made of 100% pure awesome, and I’m not even a Star Wars fan.

It comes at a price, however -- $2,995US to be exact. If you’re richer than me you can order yours now from StarWarsShop.
