If you have kids, you've probably gotten used to handing them your phone so they can play games or watch videos. So what about handing them your phone so they can insert it into a Nerf-like ball and toss it around?
That's the idea behind a new product from Physical Apps in Hollis, New Hampshire. The TheO Ball is a foam sphere with a pocket in its center that keeps the phone safe while allowing players to see its screen. Some of the initial games will be bowling, hot potato, and a question-and-answer game called Interrogo, but the company also plans a software development kit that will enable others to create games for TheO. The ball will sell for $24.95, and include several free apps. Additional apps will be sold through the Android and iTunes online marketplaces.
