from an iPhone or iPad,on
just saw the appearance of a helicopter that we were able to test this summer
and who
will also be offered under the Dexim brand. But this prop maker we have
tested several products
ici
,To beor
still there
has just added to its catalog aother
device
to radio control with your iDevice.

This is theAppSpeed Monster Truck, a truck to drive
from an iPhone application of your choice with virtual handles or using
the accelerometer:

Available in two colors, it is ordered viaa module that
plugs into iPhone sync port
and uses radio waves (to
the difference from the helicopter which was controlled via an infra signal
rouge).

automatically zigzag, spin or even dance.
