Nominated: The Parrot AR drone
Okay, so it looks like a styrofoam version of a broken 6-pack holder, but rather than strangling dolphins the Parrot AR Drone (nominated in the best of show "wireless handset accessory" category) is ideal for menacing coworkers, small children and doorknocking fundamentalists.

The flight unit features a stabilisiing system preventing you (sadly) from going too haywire. ![]() You actually control it via the iPhone screen rather than than old fashioned "eyeball vision".
