Parrot have devleoped this http://ardrone2.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone/en/index.html to go with iPhone and iTouch, pity the battery life is only 15 minutes. I can see it as being a great way to annoy the neighbours by spying on them. I also wonder what happens if it gets out of bluetooth/ wifi range.............................. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

If the car radio/ handsfree phone system I bought from them for the Defender is anything to go by it will be available in about 12 months from ordering! I ordered in Oct 2008 for supposed Jan 2009 delivery and it finally arrived in September last year due to "software development problems"

Exactly... it doesn't look entirely robust and I bet it won't be cheap either |

I read somewhere that a development version was being sold for $1200, including the iPodTouch.

I have heard that RC Helicopters are incredibly difficult to fly so for public safety (read killing joy!) you have to know what you are doing with them. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
