MUCH OF THE FUN of the Sphero toy comes from its mysterious nature: it has no buttons, no battery cover, no socket for a charger. Shake it and the globe glows with colored light. Put it on the floor, call up its control application on a smart phone, and the Sphero springs to life, trundling around at the direction of an on-screen virtual joystick. The $130 Sphero is made by Orbotix, a company that Ian Bernstein and Adam Wilson originally founded to sell Bluetooth-based control technology to manufacturers of other devices.
