You’ll have—ahem—a ball with the Orbotix’s Sphero. Control this fun spherical robot from your smartphone (iPhone or Android), iPad or iPod touch and play games such as Sphero Golf and Sphero Drive. Sphero currently offers five free games and apps, and expects to release space action and color matching games soon. And by the holidays, you’ll see accessories such as ramps, skins and even specially-made Sphero chariots.
