I'd love to have one of these for my Pre but I'm guessing that having the iPhone as the controller is just Parrot's way of a having a product that is used with a phone with the most market share.]]>Jan 5th 2010 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/parrots-ar-drone-helicopter-brings-military-style-amusement-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/parrots-ar-drone-helicopter-brings-military-style-amusement-to/I doubt it will be exclusively for the iPhone.

They're probably games that they use to teach you how to actually fly the thing. My buddy spent $200 on a RC Place/Helicopter simulator. At first I thought for just a simulator and a controller he had been ripped off. Then I realized that it would save him much more when it comes to replacing crashed planes. You think they're easy to fly until it's time to turn them around and fly them back towards you.]]>Jan 5th 2010 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/parrots-ar-drone-helicopter-brings-military-style-amusement-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/parrots-ar-drone-helicopter-brings-military-style-amusement-to/Bring your Phones and I'll bring the Noise.
