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 significant.

A Wi-Fi-controlled quadricopter using the iPhone as a remote control will go on sale (!) In the United States this September at a price of $ 299.99. And for this you absolutely do not need an iPhone 4G, rather old models of 2g / 3g / gs, or an itach, or an iPad (I think that it is on it that the front and rear cameras of the gadget will really do their main function).

An important point here is the fact that the developers of this gizmo understand very well: just flying and looking through the camera in their iPhone is not very funny for this process and will probably get bored quickly. But open source software, which allows not only creating educational computer demos, but also augmented-reality iOS applications, in which you can organize whole competitions with friends in an open field, which will turn into a military training ground on the smartphone screen ... in general, there is enough room 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 at a price of $ 2.99.
