Roomba, the vacuum cleaner that created a market for robot housecleaning appliances, has a new sibling. It's called Scooba, and it mops.
On Monday, iRobot — the company that invented Roomba — offered a preview of Scooba, which won't be available until the holiday season. Scooba resembles Roomba — something of a home bathroom scale on wheels. But where Roomba cleans rugs, Scooba cleans hardwood, tile, linoleum or any kind of bare floor.
Scooba's price hasn't been set, but Angle says it will cost slightly more than a Roomba. A Roomba Discovery model costs about $280.
{plan on digging deep in your pockets this christmas if its on your wifes or moms wish list )
Scooba will be available by special mail order in limited quantities over the holidays, said iRobot Chief Executive Colin Angle. Retail sales are expected to begin early in 2006.
At 13 inches in diameter and four inches high, Scooba resembles the disc-shaped Roomba and features two tanks: one for water and cleaning fluid developed by Oakland, Calif.-based Clorox, the other for dirty water.

Kinda like those people who play sports on the Xbox instead of playing the actual sports?
Or those people who use a disinfectant instead of hot water?
Or people who buy their food at the store instead of harvesting their own fields?
It's called technology. Get over it.
