Tech-toy maker TOSY Robotics today unveiled a robotlike music speaker called mRobo, which is Bluetooth connected, has 2GB of internal memory, and also dances to the sound of its own music.

To bring a crowd to its booth at CES, TOSY enlisted the help of teen heartthrob Justin Beiber. It worked. Hundreds of fans lined up for hours for photos and autographs.
