Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N) plans to sell the G1 cell phone, powered by Google Inc (GOOG.O), for about $30 less than T-Mobile USA, the exclusive U.S. carrier for the device.

    Wal-Mart said it would start selling the touch-screen phone for $148.88 on Wednesday October 29 in about 550 stores for consumers who sign up for a two-year T-Mobile USA contract, and as more phones become available it will expand further.

    T-Mobile USA, the No. 4 U.S. mobile service, last week kicked off sales of the device, which is made by HTC Corp (2498.TW), for $179.

    Wal-Mart spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien said on Tuesday that the company wanted to offer its customers the "products they want at the very best value."

    A spokesman for T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG (DTEGn.DE). was not immediately available for comment.
