Ever had any interest in playing around with a radio-controlled plane or a helicopter?  I have, but it was always one of those 'might-be-cool' interests.  Nothing serious.  A few days ago, a Youtube video really caught my eyes that really brought this small interest of mine back.

A new iPhone toy called AR Drone by a company called Parrott, brings a multitude of teenage boy fantasies into one.


This little flying object looks like something Luke Skywalker used to race in.  It is controlled over wifi using iPhone (there seems to be other smartphone versions in the works as well) and equipped with a camera that let you see what the drone sees in the air.


My words really don't do it any justice, so check it out in the videos below.
