Distantly related to the 3DR hexa that seems to appear in the picture...if I could take the opportunity to say what I'd like to see in a future frame...a foldable quad that fits into a bag with easily removeable and replaceable blades ('cuz you'd have to put them on/off when you take them out of the bag).
At makefaire Japan there was a guy with a Y that could do that..in Japan in particular, not everyone has cars (although i do) and you get a lot of weird looks if you walk onto a subway with a quad in your hand. A foldable quad that goes into a bag is what people without cars probably need. And it can be lower profile now that APM2 is coming...

I really like the desing of this x525 frame... foldable and cheap.... of course it most likely need some modification but it's a great start...

and even if the quality is low it's hard to get any frame for that cheap!

Randy: thats what we are aiming at with our future frames. We want them to be easily and quickly assembled/disassembled. We'll get there :)
