Incredible

From the what will they think of next department, comes this device called the McCam - not sold at local McDonalds, BTW - that has all sorts of privacy implications for all of us. I can see the so called law and order forces rushing to get one of these to spy on us.

Here's the synopsis from the announcement in DP Review:

 We must have one: The MeCam is a voice-controlled flying video camera helicopter that streams directly to your Android phone. Now really is this all it can do?
According to Android Community, Always Innovating is working on the product, which will also follow your every move after it's been synced to your smartphone and share its video stream via your social networks. 
Three patented stabilization algorithms keep the device in flight. The MeCam will run on a 1.5 GHz Cortex-A9 processor with 1GB of RAM, micro-SD for storage and WiFi/Bluetooth capabilities. Always Innovating anticipates the MeCam will start at $49.
It will still be sometime before we're all being followed by our own personal copter cams, however; the MeCam isn't expected to launch until 2014. I believe that this stuff is rather scary.
