CONCLUSION

   Small, good looking, agile, easy to use, durable and quite fast the Sandberg iConheli may actually be the ideal RC "toy" for indoor use however it's far from perfect. First of all the 10m range makes it extremely hard to use outdoors without having to worry about losing control while the 160mAh battery is not nearly enough to what i'd personally like. Now i do realize that the iConheli is targeted towards kids (mostly) so a small battery shouldn't be an issue for indoor use but there's yet another problem with that since not many kids actually own iPhone, iPad or iPods (actually none does from all the kids i know). So basically it makes little sense for any manufacturer to focus solely on iOS enabled devices when android enabled ones cost much less and are more widely used. After talking with our friends from Sandberg it seems that they are well aware of this so they will probably expand their line of products to include android compatible ones. Also as you can see from the above picture since the OEM manufacturer that builds the iConheli also has a white version available i wouldn't rule out the possibility that Sandberg may eventually include it in their product catalog.

   Currently the Sandberg iConheli is only available inside the EU for a price tag of 55Euros (Purchase Directly from Amazon.co.uk) which is quite reasonable for what it offers. USA residents however have the option to purchase the iConheli directly from the manufacturer (Woddon) for a price tag of USD45.89 (Purchase Directly from Amazon.com) which is even lower and even more appealing. Certainly you can find many cheaper solutions in the market that may actually be more suitable for use by kids (Apple devices don't come cheap after all) but leaving that aside the iConheli delivers a very good bang for your buck and that's why it gets our Golden Award.
