Rovio Driver App Now Available for iPhone

Ever experienced a time when you could actually have your cake and eat it too?  When you could get a chance to play with two of the awesomest gadgets ever at the same time, without having to put down either one?

WowWee did a great favor to iPhone users with their built-in iPhone control application - and feeling inspired, one Rovio fanatic decided to create one of his own!

Enter "Rovio Driver," the new application available from Bertrand Leroy on the iPhone App Store. With a quick download and a few settings, you'll be up and running in no time. 

With Rovio Driver, you can control your Rovio using the iPhone's built in accelerometer and watch its camera using a much larger view than the standard app.  In addition, there are also controls for the head position and rotation.

We're hoping that Bertrand continues to update, improve, and polish this awesome new app for Rovio - stay tuned to RoboCommunity for the newest discussion!
