    You’ve gotta love how they made a Wiimote inside an old electric razor ;)

    The thing I’m most impressed with is the GSM control and data streaming – that’s something I’ve been wanting to try for a long time. Having no range limitation ( :-)…except for dropped calls) would be amazing.

    These things are pretty remarkable! I’m impressed when (about halfway through) the guy starts pushing one of them around and it auto-corrects very well.

    It’s so cool to see how in 2007 this was rare and new, now motion control is everywhere.
