Parrot AR.Drone attacks in September, issue price: $ 300

Those who have not had time to get acquainted with this fantastic toy in January, when Parrot AR.Drone was first shown at CES, can do it right now - the reason has appeared more than weighty.

A quadricopter operated via Wi-Fi using the iPhone as a remote control will go on sale (!) In the US in September this year for $ 299.99. And for this, you absolutely do not need iPhone 4G, rather old 2g / 3g / gs models, or aytacha, or an ipad (I think that it is on it that the front and back cameras of the gadget will really cope with their main function).

The important point here is the fact that the developers of this thing perfectly understand: just fly and look through the camera in your iPhone for this process is not very funny and, probably, quickly get bored. But open software, which allows not only to create educational computer demos, but also augmented-reality iOS applications, in which you can organize entire competitions in an open field with friends, which can become a military training ground on a smartphone screen ... in general, there is enough space for imagination . It is already known that the first two games for Parrot AR.Drone will be available at the start of sales directly from the AppStore for $ 2.99
