Well, today is your chance! Parrot, the French drone company, just launched the Parrot Mambo FPV (First Person Race) drone.

<p>We have not yet had a chance to try one ourselves but we’re hoping to do so soon and report about it here. If it is anything like the DJI Spark in sports mode that we did a first impression of earlier, it should be a lot of fun to fly.</p>

<p>A new report today says that the upcoming AirPods wireless charging case will cost $69 and launch at the end of the year. However, we’re somewhat skeptical as we haven’t seen any official details from Apple and the company already charges that amount for standard replacement charging cases.</p>

I intended to round-up a bunch of views on it, positive and negative, but actually struggled to find any positive ones.</p>
<blockquote><p>They should’ve made the bezels thick enough around the display to accommodate ‘the notch’. Symmetry is so so important in design. How Apple missed this is a mystery to me.</p>
<p>Its the first time they didn’t think about symmetry. That notch can’t be unseen.</p>
<p>Such a shame to ruin what could have been an edge to edge spacious and beautiful display. One look at the gorgeous display of the LG V30 is proof positive of what’s possible when you employ skilled designers. Apple blew it.</p>
<p>The notch in the screen looks terrible, very un-apple like. It’s hard to believe they released something that looks like this instead of making the screen straight across under the sensors.</p>
<p>I can’t get past the “devil horns” on the model X. How could they make such an obvious design mistake?</p></blockquote>

But in an already crowded market, will it will find a place dominated by AirPods and other major players?</p>
<p>I was able to get an early <em>run</em> with Jaybird’s latest over the last few weeks. Taken from an Apple-geared perspective, here are my thoughts on the new $180 Jaybird Run truly wireless headphones.
