Using a smartphone instead of a Go Pro + TX?

Greetings,

Has anyone tried using a smartphone for aerial imagery collection? They have a battery, camera, storage, and transmitter built into a fairly rugged and compact package....

You certainly would not be using these images for GIS or anything seriuos... Image quality is nowhere near a Go-Pro.
But then again, there are threads on here which discuss using keychain cameras!
But the again, those posts don't mention comparing a GoPro.

I was quietly impressed with the way Photoshop stitched together the pics from my iPhone. Low resolution but clear enough. Let me know if you want more info.
