20 minutes with onboard camera (GoPro etc.) - longer without the camera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYAKpmhMADI

Shipping is due to begin late summer, but Kickstarter orders will be shipped first. I've been told there is going to be a price increase sometime this month, although I'm not privy to the exact date.

Here's a flight time test with onboard camera, at 17 degrees Fahrenheit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYAKpmhMADI

TLDW: 20 minutes. Without a camera you'd be looking at around 25 minutes.

You're right that this info should be on the website - I'll make sure that happens. Thanks for the feedback.

For learning how to fly in the sub $100 price range, get a Hubsan X4 H107C - don't be put off by the low price - they are crazy fun to fly. For the $1000+ price range, the DJI Phantoms are great. For the $500 price range, check out http://www.thepocketdrone.com - the most successful drone Kickstarter campaign of all time (raised almost one million dollars). Disclosure: I work for AirDroids who manufacture the Pocket Drone.
