Last week, we got a chance to control the high-flying Parrot AR Drone. Senior Editor, Susie Ochs's first time flying the helicopter might seem a little shakey, but she still managed to get some awesome air. Check out the video after the cut for a first look at the Parrot AR Drone.
And check out Online Editor, Robbie Baldwin's play time with the device.
The Parrot AR Drone caused a stir earlier this year at CES, and at Macworld, too. The ability to control a quadricopter with your iPhone is most definitely a selling point for this nerd toy. There are also two cameras tacked on to either end of the copter that show you what the flying device is looking at.
Also, when the AR drone goes on sale, it'll recognize tag sheets you can place on the wall and use augmented reality to make things fly at you. And, if you find another friend with a Parrot AR Drone, you can have copter fights!
