Parrot AR.Drone (VIDEO): iPhone Controlled Helicopter Debuts At CES 2010

Called the "hottest CES 2010 iPhone accessory," Parrot's AR.Drone is a miniature helicopter that can be controlled with your iPhone or iPod touch.

Recombu explains,

The Parrot AR.Drone is an iPhone or iPod Touch controlled helicopter that connects via Wi-Fi and uses your iPhone's accelerometer and touchscreen as controls. The helicopter boasts a camera so that you can see what's going on through your iPhone or iPod Touch's display. As if that wasn't enough, the AR.Drone also features two augmented reality games and a duel mode.

See the AR.Drone in action in the video demo below!

I'd be interested in a model that was powerful enough to lift a six-pack and a bottle of wine.
