We love the Parrot AR Drone indoor chopper, which can be controlled via an iPhone, Android or Symbian phone. Add Meego to that list today too: today at Nokia World, scientists at the Nokia Research Centre showed off the app running on a Nokia N9, all in the name of indoor GPS.
Boom goes the dynamite. Now that we’ve wrapped up the major E3 press conferences and delivered hoards of gaming news, it’s time to slow things down and return with a fresh edition of the US Update. We’ve got all the heavy hitters on tap this morning, let’s begin.
The Xperia Play Experience Pack has just been announced by Sony Ericsson at E3. The pack includes the DK300 multimedia dock, a pocket USB cable, a music cable to connect the dock to your audio system and three games from Gameloft.
Last year we had the privilege of putting the Parrot AR Drone through its paces, pairing the unmanned flying machine with our iPod touch. This year at E3 Parrot has some exciting news — the AR Drone is now compatible with Android, Symbian and bada.
Like an episode of Looney Tunes, that’s not all folks. For the developers in attendance, Parrot has released a SDK to develop new applications for AR Drone across iOS, Android, bada and Symbian. In addition, Parrot announced AR Race, a race game which supports one to four pilots.
It’s hard to believe, but CES – the Consumer Electronics Show – is almost upon us once again.

We pushed its skills and industrial design to the limit, and er, actually broke it. Don’t worry though – read our full Parrot AR Drone review right here and you’ll see that it’s far from delicate.
Those whopping TVs and super-speedy PCs might have turned heads at CES. But there were plenty of futuristic flights of fancy helping us see just what life will be like in 2020, or even sooner.
