Fly Or Die: Parrot AR.Drone 2.0

Let's just cut to the chase. The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is awesome. Pricey? Sure — it's $300. It's a toy that costs as much as the smartphone you'd be controlling it with, but it's a grown-up's toy, and one that makes a jaded John Biggs very happy. This is far more than I can say for most of the gadgetry on the market today. But John's opinion aside, this thing just rocks. The quadcopter has a 720p camera that streams the feed directly to your smartphone, along with a QVGA camera measuring the terrain below. Plus, it comes with a built in GPS and allows you to store to a USB key on the device and upload the footage later. Oh, and it can do a flip.
