Rolly is a digital music player that dances and can amuse you easily. It’s a robotic device that can be programmed to dance to the music you transfer
to its internal memory (2 GB of space). It can hold about 520 average songs. The controls are pretty innovative on the Rolly. You adjust volume and
change songs by turning its wheels. When held upright, the top wheel changes between songs and groups, or playlists. The bottom wheel controls volume.

One of the cool features is its Bluetooth capability. You can play music wirelessly from other devices like your mobile phone or PC. The sound quality
is excellent! We paired it with a BlackBerry Curve and had a great streaming experience. You can pair the Rolly with up to 8 Bluetooth devices.

So how does the Rolly dance? When you transfer music to the Rolly, you have the option to transfer the music file with Automatic Choreography. The
Rolly will perform random motions throughout the song. Or with the Rolly Choreography software (same program you use to transfer music) you
can create your own motions for each song. It’ll take some practice, but you can do it. My favorite move is when its spins.

I’m definitely a fan of the Rolly. Sound quality from this little guy is amazing. We were quite surprised. The only problem we found is that it’s not as
affordable as we’d like it to be. The Rolly sells for around 400 bucks and is also available in white. Check out Sony's website. Happy dancing!
