Take Off With the Jetlev R200 Flyer Jetpack

So tomorrow there are a number of us who will be excitedly pre-ordering the HTC Flyer Android Tablet. But that’s tomorrow, and it is a whole day away. In the meantime there is another flyer worth a look, although it costs a heck of a lot more.

The Jetlev R200 Flyer is a Jetpack that makes personal flight a reality. The device uses pressurized water to levitate the pack and it’s “driver” and go vertical or horizontal. At close to 100K it is a luxury for people who live lives of super luxury but who knows, in a couple of years anything is possible.

Regardless, it looks cool in still and the video is even more awesome.
