For $99 it's not bad and sometimes I wouldn't mind being able to check the house when I'm out. When they have a $50 dollar one, from Walmart, I'll bite.

i'm keeping my eyes on the ones that fly with cameras.
So much more capability.
a swarm of them could be piloted via computer, patrol vast areas quickly with no pilot (just computer vision), and even be used as a quick point to point parcel delivery system.
