I know Sammy never really seemed to age, but doesn't it seem odd that the picture shows little or no degradation at 100 inches diag. compared to 25 inches???
I was really hoping for a 56-in-1, but I wouldn't complain if I were to win...

Rock on!
The video is "lackluster" likely because they know d#mn well how dangerous the thing could be if something goes haywire. Safety may also be the main reason for flying the thing indoors, as they did in the video.

Development of the helicopter was similarly "lackluster." From sikorskyarchives dawt com: "The VS-300 was first flown (tethered) on September 14, 1939 and the first untethered flight was on May 13, 1940. Testing continued and on May 6, 1941 Sikorsky piloted the VS-300 to a new world helicopter endurance record of 1 hour, 32 minutes and 26 seconds." So, 8 months after trying it out tied down, Sikorsky finally decided it was safe enough to try untethered. Many test flights were nothing more than getting it up in the air a few tens-of-feet and then setting it back down. Over and over. It may be lackluster, but it beats being dead.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"For a long time I have been searching for a portable device where I can store all of my CDs in MP3 format and stream the songs wirelessly to my HiFi system. The portable device must I've tried FM transmitters, they all suck. I don't want a docking station. Any help? Thanks!" have a display so that I easily can scroll through the playlists (I don't want to use a TV or monitor). I suppose that there must also be a second device that is connected to the HiFi system that would receive the wireless streams from the portable device.
