iSeePet: a remote pet-communication system powered by Linux

The iSeePet is a remote pet-communication system powered by Linux, popular in Japan. Here is an article from Japan Corporate News Network: "Weighing 3kg, iSeePet is composed of a web cam-equipped water tank and a food dish. Beginning November 29, owners can log on to the Internet or mobile-phone service (www.iseepet.jp/), to see animated or static images of their pet waiting for food. At meal times the owner presses the Call button over the Web, and the remote-controlled system plays a melody to catch the pet's attention."

According to AlphaOmega's pages (in Japanese) [1][2], this machine (iSeePet) is powered by Linux.
