iPhone Drone Attacks At CES (Run For Your Lives)
This is by far the coolest thing I’ve seen at the Consumer Electronics Show so far. The iPhone drone is just so, so awesome.
The possibilities of this thing are nearly endless. Citizen journalists could use this as a front line video capture device, sending video stories high directly to the internet. Firefighters and rescuers could use it to peek in windows and in unstable rubble to look for victims or survivors.
And of course you can use it to spy on your neighbors, scare the dog and generally goof around.
Reps I talked to said the price point would likely be around $249. It’s still a toy, surely, and I’d like to see how it handles in a little wind, but what a great gadget. I’ve seen larger industry versions for photographers, but the price reaches toward $5,000 and up.
Reps said there is no plan for an Android app, but they didn’t rule it out.
