iDevices are perfect devices for developing applications that allow controlling toys with their help and iLaunch Thunder is the first "missile launcher" controlled by an iPhone terminal. Of course, we are talking about a toy that is built in the form of a rocket launcher that is completely controlled by the iPhone terminal of the Cupertino company. An application allows users to control the shooting direction but also the moment of shooting and the clip above shows the whole concept as well as possible.
The iLaunch Thunder is a Missile Launcher made for iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. Strike fear into the hearts of your fellow cube-dwellers with the iLaunch Thunder. Wirelessly controlled by your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, the iLaunch Thunder combines the best of Bluetooth technology and extreme innovation with a bit of insanity... With a 270°horizontal rotation, a vertical flexibility of more than 40° and a shooting distance of around 25 feet, the iLaunch Thunder will cover more than 1,400 square feet of your workspace. That definitely gives you more than enough coverage to declare some serious office warfare!
iLaunch Thunder charges via USB and is capable of sending projectiles up to 8 meters away, so far enough to knock down almost anything in a room. Unfortunately, the toy costs $82, a rather high price for such a device, but Christmas is coming and there will surely be enough people to buy it. Now I can only imagine American soldiers with iPhones controlling missile launchers in the Middle East.
