Videos: Awesome New Star Wars Droid You Control With Your Phone! BB-8 App-Enabled Droid || Built by Sphero

Spheero just came out with an incredibly cool new Star Wars robot based on the BB-8 Droid from the upcoming movie.  I gotta get me one of these.  Here's What Wired Magazine says about it:

 "the big-ticket item—the one that has already been reported sold out in Tokyo—isn’t from Hasbro, Mattel, or Lego. It’s an app-controlled miniature robot of BB-8 created by robotics company Sphero."
