Remember the radio-controlled 3-channel <a href="http://www.geekalerts.com/micro-mosquito-indoor-rc-helicopter/">Micro Mosquito</a> that we wrote about last year? It has now been released in version 3.0, featuring orange LED eyes and an extra pair of legs. </p>
<p><span id="more-1526"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
Utilising patented twin rotor technology combined with a horizontal tail rotor and proportional radio control, this micro chopper is exceptionally stable and easy-to-fly in a remarkably small room. The controls are so precise you can let it take off from the palm of your hand, hover and descend, turn left, right, forwards and backwards under full three dimensional control, and land it wherever you choose.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s a short video clip of the R/C Mosquito in action:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pYIfIC6UuRc&#038;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pYIfIC6UuRc&#038;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<blockquote><p>
The mosquito 3.0 comes with a helicopter launch pad that also acts as a convenient portable charger with LED indicator and auto shut off facility, up to 7 minutes flying time can be achieved from a 20-30 minute charge. Incorporating a unique external drive system for sensational smooth flights, this miniature six legged flying insect is sure to have both gadget and flying enthusiasts ‘bitten by the bug’ for fantastic desk top fun.

<p>With the <a href="http://www.lakeland.co.uk/product.aspx/!50590">Fly Pod</a> ($100) they want to show that a fly trap doesn&#8217;t necessarily have to be some unattractive device that you&#8217;ll try to hide in the corner.</p>
<blockquote><p>
Unlike most electric fly traps, ours isn’t at all industrial looking, and instead, is silent, neat, hygienic and discreet &#8211; making it ideal for use in the home.<br />
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.

<p>No idea if this works. If not, you&#8217;ll at least have a built in flashlight as a bonus. No information available on pricing or where it can be purchased.</p>
