 Pino may not be a Qrio or anything, but for a $45 toy you really have to appreciate that its two hand sensors, audio sensor, and head-mounted light sensor help it develop a personality, one of three types to be exact: friendly, naughty, or shy.
As Pino “grows up,” it learns to express emotions, play games, and behave according to its personality type. No word on what happens to poor Pino’s developmental psychology when its four AA batteries run dry, though. Or whether or not it can read lips. Interacting with Pino through these sensors advances him through three stages of growth:
 Age 1 - Pino displays basic emotions, sings songs and talks with other Pinos.
Age 2 - Pino displays a full range of emotions, walks, plays games (dancing Pino, Pino room guard, DJ pino, Program Pino, Pino’s guessing games) and responds to sound, light and infra red.
Age 3 - Pino now has a fully developed personality (either Friendly, Shy or Naughty).
