NEW ARDRONE GPS???

Question about this new drone due out in Septmeber. Not knowing much about it but it being an open source, how hard will it be to add a gps to auto navigate it, and would I need a ardupiolt? Also estimated flight time is only 15-20 minutes, how can you extend this? I was thinking of solar panel to help charge or fly on sunny days, but im a novice to thing whole thing. Thanks for any assistance.

    As Chris just pointed out on another post today, the Parrot AR was really only meant for inside use, or outside in no wind close in...so the use of GPS would be extraneous.

    As for extra batteries, weight seems to be an issue already.

    We have heard alot of people wanting to augment their aircraft with solar cells... again the weight penalty would far exceed the low increase in current.
