Puzzle resolved - I misread the "new drone" comments as referring to GoPro. My error there, too. Oops.
Somehow my sleep-deprived brain turned that into "lookee here what GoPro is going to do". The only puzzle is how "DJI" slid right past me. My error. Nevermind. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. Nothing to see here...DJI have responded to the news with a new drone

13 minutes flight time - matches the Karma
No need for registration since at 80g it is well under the 300g limit.
Visual positioning (missing on the Karma)
Launches from and lands on your hand.
SDK for you to program it's flights
DIY accessories to control with the SDK
VR headset compatible
They have limited the resolution to 5MP for photos and HD video so it doesn't compete with their bigger drones.
Price: £99
