NEWS A phone with a robot's head has been developed that uses voice recognition to identify incoming calls and then shout out the name of the caller. Mr Phone, the latest landline phone from Polyconcept USA, is also fitted with infra-red beams that detect movement to let it dance and chat with you whenever you enter the room. Mr Phone can also remember programmed important dates such as birthdays and remind you of them.
