HTC Flyer Hits 1 Million Orders
March 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment
The HTC Flyer was announced at MWC a few weeks ago. We now hear that 1 million orders have been made for the new Android 2.4 tablet computer which according to Digitimes, should see the company through to August this year.
1 million is a good milestone to reach although we need to wait to see what users actually want. It isn’t clear if they will prefer the larger 9 to 10 inch Android 3.0 tablets, or if the smaller Android 2.4 7 inch tablets will suffice. [Read more…]

Palmsize Helicopter – RC Living Room Flyer
April 27, 2007 by 3 Comments
Tiny RC helicopters are great fun to play with. The main one you are probably aware of is the Picoz which came out late last year. The palmsize helicopter looks to be slightly smaller then the Picoz and it capable of being fully controlled. The helicopter can be turned left or right as is slowly moves forwards. It can also take off right from the palm of your hand. This is a perfect toy for those like me who like toys in the office.
The helicopter comes in 2 colour which are red or silver and each has a different frequency which allows 2 helicopters to be flown together. Luckily the helicopter is light enough not to actually break when it crashes.
The remote control is infrared, so you need to be in line of sight to use it although you would be stupid attempting to fly a helicopter you couldnt see. Attached on the front is a Multi colour LED for night flying. The helicopter is supposed to be flown indoors but can fly outside if there is ZERO wind. I did try an indoor helicopter once outside and smashed it with in seconds because of ignoring a zero wind rule 🙂 For 15 mintues of charging you can get around 7 minutes of flying time… so maybe you need to purchase 3 to keep one in the air constantly.

Pico Flyer
June 14, 2006 by 2 Comments
The PicoFlyer is the worlds smallest functional RC helicopter. It’s rotors are 60mm in diameter and the helicopter can fly for around 3 minutes. Looking at the screen shots it reminds me of the insides of a tiny RC car (the Tomy ones) and from what I can tell it’s made of 3 motors (2 for the rotors and 1 for the rear rotor) and charges just like the BitChargE cars.
More Pictures can be found here.
Absolutely stable without the use of any gyros or autopilots
There are no servos, actuators, rods, links, gears or other moving part
The whole helicopter is operated and controlled by 3 electric motors
Forward flight is achieved by tilting the helicopter with the tail propeller
The rotor blades are encircled by a ring that supports and protects them
It is very efficient, all the power is used to generate lift
It is silent, the mechanical drives and the rotors generate very little noise
There are no vibrations
It is safe
