Remind me to fly it indoors or I'd probably lose a $600 device.
Chris, and to think that you and came this close to shipping this product way back in 2010... :=)
Ari.
The obvious application is the delivery of a messages/pictures without using the phone network!
In rural areas where raptors abound, there might be some some messages lost due to predation.
It would also be a good idea to label the 'iDroPhone' with the owner's name and address.
Now there's a startup! Prepaid postage labels for flying phones that are found in public!

[great video!]
Miss the days when animation was enough.
That was hilarious...I bet we're not that far away from it being a reality.
Cool, I downloaded and installed the OCTiPAD version into my IPAD,
that explains why the new one is a little thicker, amazing how they
get eight motors in there. The props are marked FC, I guess you can
order replacement prop pairs directly from FoxConn?
i hope it doesnt uses there maps
Hmm fly away issues....and the ESC overheated..needs and airbag
I am starting to import these to sell!
:)
This is obviously fake.
If it was real, the iPhone screen would have broken in the fall. ;)
