Parrot AR Drone 2.0 available for pre-order, ships in May


One of the original and beefier remote control toys for the iOS is going 2.0. Announced at CES, the quadcopter is back with some improvements, such as a 720p video camera. The camera can record video onto an onboard SD card or USB stick. Video can also be captured via WiFi with the controlling iOS device. We got to play around with it at CES, and it's plenty of fun, although the $299 price tag may cause some crash anxiety for those not accustomed to RC planes.

Pre-orders started Thursday and is expected to start shipping in May.
