iOS controlled ‘Spy Tank’

Here is another cool gadget which is among the very interesting ones, yet slightly useless at least in our opinion. This time it is a gadget made by Brookstone and named more or less appropriately: ‘Spy Tank’.

‘Spy Tank’ is controlled through an iOS app so you can drive the device with your iPhone or iPad. ‘Spy Tank’ will send you back a feed of audio and visual stream. One of the interesting things about this gadget is that it has even night vision capability which makes it even more useful for your potential “spy missions”. Your iPhone or iPad will connect to ‘Spy Tank’ through a Wi-fi connection which gives it a range of 60 meters (200 feets) in a open area or 30 meters (100 feets) if it moves behind obstacles or indoors. The rover is powered by a pack of 6 batteries, which probably won’t last too long.

App which controls the tank works with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and is available as a free download in the App Store. The device itself costs $150 which is on a slightly expensive side for a remote controlled toy. Do you agree?

Here is the Youtube add for this gadget.
