I didn't know if anyone had seen these. My son just told me about one a friend bought and said it appeared to work pretty well. It's controlled by an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch ONLY. It has a pair of cameras, forward and downward looking and you can see through them on the iPhone as you control it. The unit is controlled by tilting the iPhone --the unit copies the attitude/orientation of the iPhone.

The above link takes you to Brookstone, apparently the only place you can get these. They cost $300.
