It is great that many people support Apple. I did in the first days of the Apple computers but the closed architecture that the company adopted from the beginning drove me to the PC market. I have a number of Early Apple computers, IIE's, IIC's, various Mac's, I had one of the first 100 Macs off the production line, and Power PC's. However, Iphones do NOT WORK in some parts of rural America, like where I live so I CAN't use them.
I would like it if the folks at AR Drone would make one that uses a regular transmitter that I have already otherwise I would probably spend the money on something like a DJI Flamewheel (though I have some issues with DJI's business model as well).
As bmsweb stated above the AR Drone is kind of the "TOY" of the quad copter world imho.
