If this doesnt make you grin, check your pulse!

Hope the link works, it says to simply post:

Pretty cool! The GPS function is really cool, both precise horizontal and vertical control.
 
Something similar, and all you need is an iPhone to control it:

Kent's birthday present?

Oh, I want one, bad! I liked playing with Jason's little RC copter at Gaston's a couple years ago, but this one takes it to a new level: It beams a video feed back to your iPhone. Awesome!

I even thought of a practical application for it - When I can't see whether I can get out of a particular spot in the truck before I go into it, I could just throw the AR.Drone out the window and go take a look via it first. Cool!
