Here is a great offering by Volks. It costs less, and from what I can tell, does more. They have two different styles, The VS-1 and the retro looking NEON. Here are a couple of links that have pictures and video.

Well, it won't do the dishes, but it does patrol your house or apartment and lets you see what it sees on your cell phone even when you're not at home.

Nuvo is really cute, and the design is first class - kind of like a Ferrari of robot design. ZMP is actively promoting it now, and seems to be drawing a lot of attention. They let me play with it for a while during the robot exhibition in Akihabara this past weekend, so I was able to take some video (NUVO demo) while Higa-san from ZMP explained its features. Pretty cool, though still a little pricey for my limited budget.
