iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad have made mobile apps and games a major pastime for many. And while games like Angry Birds and Doodle Jump can keep you occupied for hours in their virtual worlds, sometimes we crave something a little more real. It's times like those when we could see the new AppSpeed monster truck being a fun diversion.
The innovative little vehicle throws out normal RC controls in favor of an iPhone or iPad that's already on your coffee table. After purchasing the tiny truck, buyers can download a free controller app to their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. A small RF transmitter then plugs into the bottom of smartphone or tablet and lets you control the vehicle with either touch controls or by tilting the device from side to side.
What's more, the AppSpeed won't eat up your precious cache of expensive batteries, as it can be recharged when it runs out of juice simply by plugging it into any USB port. The diminutive off-roader is just the first in a line of iOS-controlled vehicles that manufacturer Dexim hopes to introduce in the coming months. The first run of AppSpeed vehicles will hit stores this coming fall for $69.99, but you can check out the video above for free.
