I've built several "hobby grade" multirotors with GPS and first-person video, and while I find the process fun and satisfying, it's far from accessible to mainstream consumers. I was never impressed by Parrot's original AR Drone, but this looks much more promising as an accessible drone with a good feature set. The biggest problem with the AR Drone, the control latency over WiFi, is probably covered up by the Bebop's GPS stabilization. It doesn't look like there's any pricing information for the Bebop yet. They should definitely be able to keep it under $500, and if so (and if it works as well as their demos portray) I bet they'll sell well.
