As we close out the year and approach Christmas, here is a quick review of some stellar items we have reviewed over the past few months.
iHelicopter.net sent us a review unit after we showed their latest preview of their missile-shooting iHelocopter. After a few weeks of playing with this iOS device controlled (through an earphone dongle) helicopter, I can say it works as expected. I have only used it inside but it has survived a lot of hard “landings” as well as direct hits on the ceiling and walls. The reason this one is so notable is that it shoots missiles through a spring-loaded system. Yes, this works and with the gyroscope going, it is easy to hit your target. ($69 shipped free globally.)
