The AR Drone (v1) I had was great and I miss it everyday. I hope they worked out the major kinks in the v2 revision. I ended up returning mine not by choice. I sent it back to the store because the motherboard failed and they sent me store credit instead. I guess too many failures and too many returns made them get out the drone selling business.
The SDK was fairly well equipped and the examples were well documented (this was iOS 3, GB, and C# examples). I don't know how they did it but they have the starter ready-to-run drone market to themselves. All the competitors I've looked at are 2-3x the price. Even the link the above is $179 just for the MB; excluding sensors, motors, batteries, cameras, and crossframe.
