USB R2-D2 Vacuums Up Your Computer Desk
Let Artoo be your desktop maid.
Star Wars fans may get a kick out of this $21 handheld, USB-based R2-D2 replica. Although Artoo doesn't move, zap potential snoops, or project holograms of hot princesses, the droid does provide a vacuum service with enough suction to clean the crumbs off your computer desk. What Artoo won't do is perform a highly detailed cleaning.
"If your desk is grimy, sticky, and coated with a thin veneer of crust, Taito's Star Wars R2-D2 USB Desktop Cleaner won't do anything for you," reads the product description. "R2-D2 isn't powerful enough to clean your desktop sty. However, if dust and bits of paper are all that haunt your tabletop, R2-D2 is a champ who plugs into any USB port and suctions small amounts of debris, detritus, and dirt." There was no mention of boogers.
So will there be a C-3PO version to keep the R2 unit company? "No," said NCS. "C-3PO isn't cool like that." Interested fans can head here to pre-order this vacuum version, however the product doesn't ship until sometime in August 2010.

Hmm...
My brother seems to like to leave a pound of broken chips, cookies and bread on my desk on a weekly basis...

So you are going to buy the USB R2-D2 vac and hit your brother with it? I bet you would get better results.
When I read the article title I was hoping for a miniature roomba style usb R2D2 vacuum, guess this is still pretty cool.

Well your "brother" will have to wait for a better product to come along. It's pretty obvious this does little more than basic upkeep.
It seems like if you have dirty desktop, you should wake up and clean your desktop instead.
Now I've seen everything.
if it doesn't make classic R2-D2 boopbeeps, no sale....
Unimpressive.......
This is great to any one who wants to waste a few spare bucks.
Oh my god! I always wanted one of these, only I never knew it !!
Ok, maybe not.
too bad it doesn't move around like roomba when it vacuums.
GEE! The Star Wars franchise just keeps going and going and going!
It's official, Lucas was the designer and he made sure that this would suck like the movies he made.

Blasphemy!!!

If that were true, it'd be capable of a lot more than basic upkeep...
Thats it!!!! where do I get one!!!!
