These days, many things are accessed or controlled by downloading Applications. So it only seemed that the next logical step was to control toy helicopters via the same technology. Well er possibly
- however remote controlled helicopters controlled by um a remote control (of course) is so last century.
Introducing the the Appcopter by Apptoyz. This little indoor flying chopper reaches new dizzying heights of app downloads because now you can control a helicopter using your iPhone or iPod Touch. Thanks to a clever app combined with an infra red bug plugged into the headphone socket, you can control this digital three channel helicopter
Fitted with a Gyro for extra stability, the helicopter features a fantastic flight range of 8 metres & has 3 directional control which means it can hover & be flown left, right, up & down. Simply download the Apptoyz App & with the help of the aforementioned bug, you can control the chopper using the on-screen D-pad & manouvre via the unique cockpit graphics. No twiddling of knobs here courtesy of the old fashioned controller. Even tilting the phone will have the copter moving to your heart's desire.
What a brilliant executive toy & perfect way to waste office time.
