The Nabaztag robotic rabbit is a wireless Internet contraption that can speak, move its ears and flash its lights in response to user inputs, and  includes speech recognition.

From the site's "Voice Recognition FAQ" (sic): 

Services available with voice recognition :
  • Weather

  • Air Quality

  • Paris Traffic

  • Stock ticker (free and full)

  • Radio

The commands it recognizes are pretty simplistic:

  • Weather
  • Air or  Smog
  • Traffic
  • Market
  • Radio

but it seems to be an interesting harbinger of what Consumer Speech Recognition Appliances might look like in the not to distant future.
