The Spyball is a mid-grade webcam packed with additional features to keep users of all ages entertained. It features a round ball-like body design that includes built-in wheels which help it move about freely. An integrated camera allows the Spyball to snap pictures in a full 360 degrees and capture video which can be transmitted to a local or remote computer through the included software. The device can connect to a home or office network in ad-hoc mode or infrastructure mode; meaning users can control the device remotely over the internet from a distanced location, but can also control the device locally if desired. The camera can be hidden inside the unit or popped up like a submarine periscope; the device can also be controlled via a remote for local use. The WowWee Spyball would be great for the office; particularly keeping an eye on the employees or checking on the kids while at home. It is scheduled for a release sometime in Q4 of 2009 and will retail for around $169.
Unfortunately at this time there is no additional information on the device besides what is noted above. Further updates on this particular product will come as they are announced.
