Sony's second-generation "Aibo" (R) faces the original toy dog at the unveiling of the company's latest entertainment robot in Tokyo October 12, 2000. Sony Corp let its new robot pet, complete with waggling ears and attitude, out of the kennel on Thursday. The second generation Aibo will be available for order from November 16 at a price of 150,000 yen ($1,400) in Japan, much cheaper than the first Aibo's retail price of 250,000 yen.
