is anyone aware of a project to develop an iphone/smart phone app to control a drone using cell phone communications? i am interested in being able to use a cell phone app to turn on, fly and control a drone with a cell phone app. i want to be able to pan, tilt, and zoom the drone camera using the cell phone app.i would like to be able to take a picture with the drone camera and save on the cell phone as well as video clips. i would like to be able to monitor the battery life of the battery onboard the drone.

ok so the problem here is method of communicating.
bluetooth doesn't have the distance 802.11a/b/g/n is too much code to implement on the APM.
no phone i know has xbee/zigbee/hoperf built in.
So if i was my approach would be to get a Usbdriod [1] plug that into a android phone then plug it in to a xbee [2] and put another xbee on the APM. after that it's a matter of code trivial right ? :-P
