We chat with Parrot about its upcoming AR Drone 2.0, the successor to the wildly popular Parrot AR Drone. The AR Drone 2.0 is a quadricopter that is controlled using an iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) or Android device over Wi-Fi, and it has a high definition 720p camera in it as well, so you can see what the AR Drone 2.0 sees as it flies. The device can also perform tricks and stunts. We give you a full demo in this video. This was recorded at CES 2012. You can find Parrot quadricopter products on Amazon.
