The coolest thing we saw at CES Unveiled last night was the ARDrone from Parrot. Here is a video of it in action.

My video makes it look like your every day typical flying toy, but it’s not. It has video cameras on it and you can control it with your iPhone. If you ever had fantasies of spying on your sister, sneaking items into an enemy compound or creating a UFO hoax, THIS is the gadget for you!

What you can’t tell from my video is how quiet it was. There are four propellers, but it makes hardly any sound when it’s flying. I’m sure something like this would cause a UFO scare in my neighborhood, so I’m excited to see what happens when these puppies hit the open market.

Here is their video describing it:

I couldn’t find any information on where to buy these or how much they will cost, but you can follow them on Twitter here:
