Speaking of the AR.Drone, I managed to compile the Android application putting the video feed in asynchronous mode, now it works as a charm as a remote control, while the video feed is amazingly slow…
Definitely the G1 (Dream) is not a suitable device to be receiving raw video from wifi.
A pretty sturdy, programmable, wi-fi controlled, quad-propeller flying object with cameras and sensors on board.
I had to borrow an iPod to try out the thing, since my Android-powered HTC Dream is a little slow to handle the example application, which is not optimized, and my Linux laptop didn’t want to connect to the drone (Closed wireless NIC drivers being the primary reason), but it flies very nicely, stable and easy, a eleven years old kid could pilot it without crashing… Actually an eleven years old boy (my brother) did fly it; and he – unlike me – avoided crashing…
