# Sphero 2.0 gets a turbo boost and shines more brightly

**CNET** · Review · 2013 · by David Carnoy

## What this establishes

CNET's review of the second-generation Sphero, published the day the embargo lifted. It is the clearest contemporaneous record of what the 2.0 launch was actually selling: speed, brightness and the ramps accessory. Kelly is not named — this is coverage of the product, not of her.

## Excerpt

> “Version 2.0 of the iOS/Android-controlled Sphero rolls twice as fast, glows more brightly -- and now comes with ramps for your jumping pleasure.”

— David Carnoy, CNET, 2013
