it's connected via WIFI and streams the video from the front camera to your phone. CNN and alot of tech blogs posted about it today, and I think the price is rumored @ about $500, with a march release. we will see, the company hasn't released any info like that.

I have heard March release date but nothing official on the price. Gonna be way out of my budget I'm sure, not to mention I don't have a new gen ipod or iphone

I'll save my money until I can figure how to turn my crawler into an off road drone controlled by my PSP...

Yeah I cannot wait for that to come. I would love to fly a RC plane with a first person view. I have never done it but I will one day!

2010 is looking like a great year for technology. Direct TV will be broadcasting 3D channels by June!
