The iQue has speech facilities, built-in trivia games, a built-in dictionary, and he can even ask you witty, robotically phrased questions about your life – like “what is the size of your family unit?” or “how many times have you circled the sun?” I find its ability to ask questions and in effect almost converse quite appealing. Behind the guise of its monotonous, digitalized voice are some amusing – and patently human-conceived – phrases and developing personality.
