Control/view a drone helicopter from accelerometer movement on your iPhone/iPod touch

OK, this is cool.   Imagine controlling a drone quadricopter with your iPhone.   It gets better.  The controls are linked to the accelerometer movements in your iPhone so you can control the device naturally by tipping your iPhone the way you want the copter to move.

It gets better.  The device has a camera which sends video back to the user right on the iPhone – live over wifi.   So, technically you can fly it like the military flys drones to the bad guys’ houses.  It gets better.  Using the two cameras, you can play augmented reality games with other players.  Santa?  You listening to this?
