The Parrot AR Drone caused a huge buzz at CES this year and for good reason. The ability to control a quadricopter with your iPhone is pretty much every nerds dream. Well the Parrot guys decided that just flying with an iPhone just wasn't good enough, they put cameras on the quadricopter.
Also when the AR drone goes on sale, it'll recognize tag sheets you can place on the wall, and using the awesome power of augmented reality, the tag sheets will come alive and start shooting at you. If you have two of the copters, you'l be able to have virtual dog fights.
ZOMG!
We got a chance to fly the coveted device this morning. It's easy to control and we can't wait to get our hands on our very own so we can start hassling the other magazines at Future.
The AR Drone will ship with an indoor and outdoor chassis.
Parrot hopes to have the AR Drone on sale soon. No word on the price, but they told us that they want to bring to the market at a reasonable price.

I want mine to deliver page proofs back and forth between my office and Mac|Life HQ. Also, what in HELL is that background music in the video???
