Saw these guys at BDNT a couple days ago. Love the smart toys concept.

My dream is a personal UAV I can fly over the cell network. I want to drop my android phone into the cradle on the plane then sit back on my laptop and fly it around town, take pictures, stream video, fly it over the pentagon, etc.

Something like what http://www.microdrones.com makes, then? There was a demo at it at 23C3 (http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1402.en.h...) and someone made an open-source UAV control system and demo'd it at 24C3 (http://events.ccc.de/congress/2007/Fahrplan/events/2225.en.h...)
