CES Concept Tech: 16 Gizmos Worth Waiting For

CES concept gadgets range from robotic balls you control with your phone, home theaters for your head, and bendable displays.

Sphero Smartphone Controlled Ball



A company called Orbotix is showing off its prototype Sphero ball that you control with your smartphone. Available late 2011, according to the company, the little rolling ball can be instructed go where you want it to or act differently based on live feeds of data you can stream to the ball. I can imagine these balls would be a great way to entertain your pets, or small children. But not so useful for tracking the stock market - as the company suggests it could be configured to do.
Here is a link to a promotional video of the ball.
