[ben schmidt]

Well OK, the annual consumer electronics show (CES 2010) in Vegas is not yet over, but the coolest item I've seen so far is an iPhone-controlled toy helicopter, with on-board video camera, which can send real-time aerial views back to the iPhone. Parrot's AR.Drone helicopter brings military-style amusement to the iPhone, Jan 5 2010, Engadget.com
