[News] Linux Now in Drones

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Parrotâs AR Drone makes its way through the FCC. Features front and vertical cameras, runs Linux. 

,----[ Quote ]
| In terms of processing power, the device 
| features an ARM9 RISC 32 bit processor 
| running at 468MHz.  The device runs a 
| LInux-based OS and features 802.11 b/g 
| WiFi.  You can see pictures of the AR 
| Droneâs motherboard below.
| 
| Like others at CES, we were quite intrigued 
| by the AR Drone.  The deviceâs Linux-based 
| OS will likely offer developers a number of 
| customization options.  However, the 
| deviceâs 15 minute battery life is a bit 
| disappointing, and WiFi will limit the 
| range of the AR Drone.
