Looks like someone paid close attention to the Availabot prototype as here is the i-Buddy designed for use with Windows Live Messenger.A USB gadget, the i-Buddy is a "physical representation" of your most favourite Live Messenger buddy.
You can program it to recognise a particular buddy account, and it will light up when they come online and interpret emoticons contained within messages into coloured lights and wing flaps.
Don't think the fact that your desk is too crowded will get you out of owning this either, it's just three inches tall and can be clipped to a monitor.
Aw, so cute. Get a matching set for you and your girlfriend, we'll just sit and snigger from behind our screens.
