According to Wired, the world's first cloud-connected delivery drone has launched. The Flytrex Sky (http://www.flytrex.com/) is a high-end commercial drone which comes complete with a 'loading bay' for small items such as drinks or light packages. But more importantly it also has 3G connectivity, and is designed to work with a cloud-based backend that makes delivering parcels possible, right out of the box: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-06/22/flytrex-delivery-drone

BTW, here's PC Magazine's POV:
Flytrex Sky Drone Promises Package Delivery Via the Air - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2486480,00.asp
They actually delivered beer 2 years ago at opikopi. The person would send his coordinates and the DJI based system will fly and drop the beer.
They can carry more than one bottle

same peeps behind fpvstyle?
I met a fellow that was a home brewer. He would fly a bottles to his brother for sampling. I know it's totally wrong, but beer delivery is old news now :-)
Delivering to the world one beer at a time
So a fairly standard F450 Flamewheel based dead-cat FPV conversion quad, with a couple of rubber bands, is now a Delivery Drone?
