The iBird from Silverlit is described one of the “latest generation of R/C flyers”. It simulates the the flight of a bird using realistic flapping wing movements.

Packed with state of the art technology, it’s one of the latest generation of RC flyers that provides an unparalleled level of control and stability both indoors and out. Simple and fun to fly, the i-Bird is ready to soar straight out of the box and ultra-tough to survive the roughest landings.

Here’s a video demonstration of the iBird:

Features:

• Three colour choices
• Realistic wing flapping
• Mimics bird flight
• 4 x AA batteries required (not included)
• 1pc 3.7V rechargeable battery required (not included)

The Silverlit iBird is available from the Thumbs Up UK website with the suggested retail price set to £24.99 (about $50 USD).

This may very well be the coolest radio controlled toy we have covered at GeekAlerts so far – this robot speaks, drives on land and flies in the air.

This R/C toy does it all, you can even charge your USB devices with the included XPV battery system. The remote triggers user-controlled speaking and missile sounds. For added effect, when the robot speaks, its eyes light up.

Here’s a video demonstration to give you a better idea:

With the Fly Pod ($100) they want to show that a fly trap doesn’t necessarily have to be some unattractive device that you’ll try to hide in the corner.

Unlike most electric fly traps, ours isn’t at all industrial looking, and instead, is silent, neat, hygienic and discreet – making it ideal for use in the home.
The flies’ fascination with the light is their undoing; the soft glow lures them in, and they wing their way to a very sticky end. The glue board pulls out from the back, folding as it does, so you don’t come into contact with the bugs, or even have to look at them! Includes 1 glue board.
