MSN Tech & Gadgets include Hexbug Nano in their ‘Cool Gadgets coming soon’

UK Toy reviewer Toylogy review the Hexbug Nano:
“The latest additions to the Hexbug range of robotic bugs are the unassuming Nano bots, a flick of the ON switch however and you’re in for a surprise. These little finger sized machines travel at remarkable scale speeds across solid surfaces, a powerful motor inside the body vibrating the legs and sending them forward with no regard for obstacles. When the mini critter slams into a solid object it’ll either change direction and carry on, or depending on the momentum it has achieved flip onto its back or side and vibrate onto it’s feet - either way quite a spectacle. This is just one Nano in action, a swarm of them running about the place bumping into each other is a highly watchable event”

…skidding around on their miniature rubber feet and bumping into things like real cockroaches would—if you gave them each a human-sized cup of coffee. They can even flip themselves over if they end up on their backs. Here is a whole intrusion of the Newtons, thankfully contained beneath plastic in a maze:
