Sphero by Orbotix is a robotic ball you can control with your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. You can swipe, you can use the gyro and accelerometer, and since they’ve opened up the API developers can create pretty much any games they can think of.

Availability is later this year. Fun factor is high. We just hope they don’t become self-aware too quickly…

Can’t believe we missed this iPhone 3GS headed robot! (Don’t tell Dieter). Which exact ancestor of our future robotic iPhone overlords we don’t know, but we figure when the day does come, if they’re rocking iPhone heads, at least Apple might still reject “wipe out humanity” or somesuch from their overlord App Store… (insert your own duplicates functionality joke here!)
