The Parrot AR. Drone was one of the neatest gadgets showcased at E3 this year. It is a fully functioning quadricopter that is controlled by an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. The AR. Drone uses its own Wi-Fi signal to connect with the accelerometer on the iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad. It also houses an on-board camera that streams video back to your iDevice. The Parrot AR.Drone will sell for $299.99 on September 3, 2010. You can pre-order it now exclusively from Brookstone.

The drone looks like something straight out of Star Wars. This thing actually does fly. It’s powered by four propellers and engines and is protected by an outer hull. What’s unique about this aircraft is its gaming abilities. The drone has two cameras that stream video back to the iPhone or iPod Touch over Wi-Fi. In the event the Wi-Fi connection is lost, the Drone automatically begins a soft landing.
