Orbotix has announced Version 2.0 of its robotic iOS-controlled ball Sphero. The upgraded Sphero is reportedly twice as fast -- capable of rolling at 7 feet per second -- and three times as bright, with more LEDs and colors.
The device also includes two ramps in the box for greater trickery, as well as an optional 'Nubby' cover ($15) for outdoor use.
The first Sphero was originally released back in 2011, and more than 25 different apps have been released to interact with the device.
Sphero 2.0 is available for pre-order for $130.

It looks like a gimmick, but much like you, I have no idea what it is.
The only thing I do know is that Samsung will be using it in their next phone. ;)
Good to see they got the ball rolling on a nice update.
