This looks like fun... but has potential for police surveillance, Military intelligence, and, unfortunately, terrorism, as well as being a paparazzi's wet dream of a privacy invader... but I WANT ONE!

See, I knew a cell phone would end up having a purpose, sooner or later.

And, how long do you think it might be that they are outlawed except for police and military. That, of course, would leave them available for terrorism since terrorism is out of control anyway.

Ummm..., I can now safely predict a rapid climb in marketshare for iPhone, with CIA sales (perhaps NSA) and other alphabet agencies, along with all sort of people wanting to spy on their neighbors (and a few peeping toms, too, in the mix... I suspect)... LOL...

I just showed it to my cousin on my iPhone (on the YouTube connection there) and she said, “I want one!”... LOL...
I wasn’t sure whether she was talking about the iPhone or the drone, though... :-)

looks like it can carry 80 grams of PETN
Dont think for a moment that these will not be used in terrorism. They will be.
What was the movie with Clint Eastwood that had the radio controlled car that blew up somebody?
Tie this in with cell phone technology and it could get quite interesting. Just need to learn to fly it into a crowd of people and BANG Who needs suicide bombers any more?

I understand that the expected retail is “around $500.00”
To: RegulatorCountry
it be interesting if they could convert an entire building floor into a game arena, and have these drones do combats with each other

Alas, their Open Source license for the software restricts useful purposes of this device. Of course, there will be other vendors to fulfill the market demand.
