Windows Phone Thoughts: The Bluetooth Helicopter: Why?

Our story begins in Japan, as many stories do. For some reason, a company best known for watches and printers decided that building a tiny helicopter was a good idea. Apparently having just a tiny helicopter wasn't good enough (maybe their friends in the Tiny Helicopter Making Club made fun of them?), so they equipped their creation with a bluetooth radio. It would be kind of cool if they could control the helicopter in real-time via bluetooth, but alas, the protocol is just used to send a one-time, pre-programmed set of instructions to the helicopter. I guess they didn't want it to plummet from the sky 30 feet from the operator. Pansies. ;)

What I'm having trouble with is the practical application here. The only thing I can think of is that it could be used to airlift very small insects for very short distances. Other than that, I've got nothin'. How about you? Any ideas? Besides the obvious search and rescue? :mrgreen:
