The Parrot AR Drone, better known as the coolest thing at CES 2010, is now available and no longer just simply something we wanted but never could have. The drone, which is controlled by an iPhone, iPod touch, or (now) an iPad, can be "played" by two people over a Wi-Fi network connection.
We are given the availability date in the US of September 6, 2010 for $299 at "select retailers." Our readers in Europe will be able to get the device on August 18, 2010. There's no word yet on international pricing or where it will be available.
While you potentially wait for the launch date, check out the many videos on the AR Drone website be sure to check out our video to get some awesome hands-on footage of us playing with the much hyped device.
