I'm hoping that someone with an iPhone (vs. iPod, which currently has no camera) will choose to do some version of an app that Steve Goryl and have been discussing. Our original idea was to use a Parrot AR.Drone, or a blimp, but as these are currently either unavailable or two expensive, we came up with the idea of using a kite instead. The kite we ordered will easily hoist the 130-gram iPhone, allowing us (we hope) to transmit real-time video to a large-screen Mac or other computer on the ground. It could also transmit GPS info, orientation (from the accelerometer), etc. Please let me know if you're up for this project!
