This is very cool and I sure can’t wait for a product that does something like this… but is this video not hilarious because the guy is SUCH a geek?! I mean, if you look up “geek” in the dictionary, I’m pretty sure his picture will be in there. Good on him – Respect and all that, for choosing to spend his Saturdays on that…

@Pdrive: I concur, this guy meets all the criteria of geekdom.
Kinda like my Linux friends who will port linux to run on a toaster just cuz they can!

And only true geeks bother the world with their half-finished ideas captured on video.

Still, it brings warmth to my heart to see just how excited he gets….

A thought, why not strap the iphone to the bottom of an rc plane, get the iphone to use the gps + acellerometer + wify to control the plane, and the G3 network to send commands and receive situation updates and photos.
Doesn’t all the hardware and alot of the api exists in side of an iphone allready, just like the paparazzi project does now http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Main_Page
