The Parrot AR.drone, the flying quadricopter which is controlled by an iPhone/iPod touch, is now available for pre-order from Brookstone for $299. Using a combination of tilt and touch controls, users can fly the lightweight device to a distance of 50 meters and use its two cameras (one in front, one pointed down) to explore or race. Flight time was estimated to be about 15 minutes using the drone’s rechargeable battery.
Appletell had a first-hand experience with the AR.drone at Macworld 2010.
The drone will start shipping September 3rd, and is a Brookstone exclusive until the end of October.
