Two cameras. Makes its own Wi-Fi hotspot. Tough enough to handle crashes, makes crashing fun. Supports augmented reality gaming. It's an iPhone-controlled helicopter!!!
Battery only lasts for 15 minutes of flying between charges. Cameras can't record video. No games or Android support at press time.
