Another RC helicopter? YAAAAWN! But instead of a separate – and easily misplaced – controller, this indoor helicopter ($50) can be flown via an app from an iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone and the included Flight Deck infrared (IR) module plugged in. You can touch to control and steer the lightweight twin-rotor 'copter by moving your iPxxx – the 'copter reacts to the device's accelerometer. The 'copter has a rechargeable battery, and the IR model uses four AAAs. It'll be available in time for Christmas.
