Privacy
What is the privacy issues with this new device. We have all seen where mobile phones and cameras have been banned in public places for the protection of privacy and now for $299 we can have our own high tech sleuth helicopters to spy on our neighbours from 200 ft. Imagine going to the next Jimmy Barnes Concert with one of these toys. Send your helicopter up to the stage for some great YouTube Video or get the latest exclusive shot of your favourite celebrity from the privacy of their back yard. Now this is not a fantasy as I am sure some of the sales of this toy will undoubtedly be for some deviate purpose.
I still want one though only because I think it pretty cool and lots of fun.
