[/caption]Have you ever wanted your own remote controlled reconnaissance drone? Have you ever wanted to be able to control an aircraft from your iPhone and to be able to see what's going on some where that you aren't?
Well, if you have, you're in luck. Parrot, a technology firm, has announced their unmanned aircraft is going to be available for purchase starting today. The aircraft is to be operated by an iPhone.
The aircraft is not big, it's about the size of a normal remote controlled airplane. It's got quad-roter aircraft that has great stability, and also it's designed to be operated by your iPhone, or even your iPod Touch.
The AR drone is envisioned as more than just an interesting toy, it's designed to combine video games with virtual simulation.
It is controlled by using the accelerometer in the iPhone. This means that operators can simply tilt their hands in one direction or another to move the aircraft. The camera can be directed by just touching the screen.
The tiny drone weighs in at three-quarters of a pound, so the drone is definitely smaller than most of the Pentagon's unmanned aircraft. However, it is like many military drones, equipped with a camera that broadcasts video back to the operator. This allows it to act like a mini-spy plane.

The drone is priced at about $300, so it's a pricey thing to buy, but if you've got money to spend and you are a technology enthusiast, I say, give it a go.
