1262216 2012-03-01 01:12:00 Are they just coming as the open device or have they in a case / housing now? CYaBro (73)

just a raw device at this point, but many third party's are working on a case.

1262220 2012-03-01 03:13:00 I missed out, they sold out too fast. In the waiting list :(

Can't wait, we are putting one in the DC-3, give it full autonomous control should it fly out of range or encounter a stall.

Would be nice to add GPS functionality but that would probably be seen as a bit dodgy.

Still, i really love the idea of this. Have been following progress for about 8 months.

1262222 2012-03-01 03:26:00 Gonna be my next media server....

Server or player?

I need to get some free time so I can look at XBMC and linking it with the MediaPortal TV Server backend then I'll be able to use a Raspberry Pi as my main media PC.
Then I can get rid of the Asus Eee Box :D
