I contacted Aerotech a while back asking if they had any plans to make a ball with no charging socket, that charges by placing it in an electromagnetic field.
They replied:
"We are making initial inroads into electro magnetic charging but no firm date has been set for production."
I reckon these would be quite popular, and if a lot of people express an interest it may be speed the process up a bit.
The trouble with simply covering the charging socket is that you would still get the same dark spot on the ball, so visually it would not make much difference. (that�s what I have found with the Mathmos balls that have a cover over the charging socket)
The next version of the programmable globall will include a pc link up so you can program your own sequence without having to stop and tap the ball to change between menu options.
