My gf got me one of the AR.Drones for christmas, and I have to say that it is, by far, the best nerd toy I've ever had. Seriously, it's remarkable.

If you, at all, are thinking about getting one go for it. You'll love it.

AR.Drone seems also quite hackable, there is even an open source controller client for Maemo&MeeGo:

How's the durability?

I've definitely rammed it into a wall or some other barrier a couple dozen times and it's still ok. I'm sure I'll end up having to replace a blade at some point but I hear this is relatively straight forward.
