From the upcoming December 2015 Star Wars movie, meet BB-8, the app enabled Droid.

Over the years, the popularity of Star Wars grows. And now with all the great advancements in technology, (not to mention salesmanship) it's possible to bring a new part of Star Wars: The Force Awakens into your home. (And that's even before the movie opens in December, 2015.) Meet BB-8 - the app-enabled Droid that's as authentic as it is advanced. BB-8 has something unlike any other robot - an adaptive personality that changes as you play. Based on your interactions, BB-8 will show a range of expressions and even perk up when you give voice commands. Set it to patrol and watch your Droid explore autonomously, make up your own adventure and guide BB-8 yourself, or create and view holographic recordings. It’s now possible to explore the galaxy with your own trusty Astromech Droid by your side. BB-8 is more than a toy - it’s your companion. That's amazing you have $149.99 to pay for his friendship! It's Amazon Prime, but not in stock as of 9/10/15. But there are many places like Think Geek, ToysRUs, etc. selling BB-8. And my take on BB-8? I think kids and Star Wars fans will love this Droid. There's a bit of a learning curve, but with just the little I toyed with it, it was fun. Watch the Giz Wiz Video for a few hints on what to expect setting up the BB-8 the first time.
