The new version on the Sphero robotic ball is definitely a serious improvement with over twice the speed of the original, 3 times brighter, totally waterproof and with a Bluetooth range of 30m. Sphero 2.0 manages 1 hour of continuous play time for a 3-hour recharge, which is achieved by simply placing the ball in the included charging tray.

Supplied with stunt ramps as shown in the video, and with over 25 apps already compatible with the device allowing you to play many different types of games, the Sphero is definitely near the top of my Christmas list this year!
