Orbotix Introduces Sphero: A Robotic Ball Controlled by an iPhone [video]

Approximately the size of a baseball, the Sphero connects to the iPhone via Bluetooth and recharges via an induction-charging stand. Orbotix, the company behind Sphero, has written a number of iPhone apps and games to use with the ball, including Sphero golf and a KittyCam app that let’s users share the Sphero experience with their feline friends — and capture the whole thing with the iPhone’s video camera.

The Sphero will be available later this year for $129.99. It’s currently available for pre-order from GoSphero.com.
