From Wired, "Called Nixie, this diminutive drone weighs less than a tenth of a pound, but can capture HD images and sync with a smartphone"....In development phase, very nice concept.

Open source Hardware/Software: Android-Linux-Arduino Single Board Computer
IiMX6 Quad Core A9 combined with Arduino Due atSAM3X8E = UDOO
Imagine the compute power available, possibly a hardware variant (minus the majority of the "pc" like connectors)
powering your next autopilot - kalman, opencv etc, backed in under 40 hours in kickstarter.
Seen this in one of the latest R/C mags...
Claims to have flight modes to aid R/C beginners...
Fly by wire, Loiter, Autonomous Landing, Panic Mode
Doesn't appear to be open source..seems to have some familiar components though,

Amazing price I think for only $34.95...mine is coming this Friday...new toys. This will bring a lot of high level programmers into the embedded world, I believe. What would you do with it?
I'm sure alot of us have been waiting with anticipation for this one.Let's get some samples and/or eval board and test its performance to determine applications that it may be suitable for.
Digital-output X-, Y-, and Z-Axis angular rate sensors (gyros) on one integrated circuit with a sensitivity of 14.375 LSBs per °/sec and a full-scale range of ±2000°/sec
Three integrated 16-bit ADCs provide simultaneous sampling of gyros while requiring no external multiplexer
Enhanced bias and sensitivity temperature stability reduces the need for user calibration
Low frequency noise lower than previous generation devices, simplifying application development and making for more-responsive motion processing
Digitally-programmable low-pass filter .. and more....
