I like the entirely pointless twitter link in the summary. Hey, here's what one guy thinks about iPhone development, but first, have an entirely irrelevant and content-free quip from some other guy! Yeah!
You might be able to scale it down and have it run for more than three seconds and without using lawsuit-inspiringly high tank pressures, I don't know, I'm not a rocket scientist.
But something that would be difficult to scale is the electronics. I don't know what precisely Armadillo is using right now, but I know it includes a Crossbow IMU. The control system for a rocket needs high quality gyros, and while the Crossbow is cheap by the rarefied standards of military avionics, it's still a good fifty grand, and is definitely not something that can be replaced by a wiimote accelerometer.
I had a Sprint employee warn me never to remove the battery, or else it'd lose everything in memory. Which seems odd, since 1.) Palm hyped the removable battery over the iphone's soldered in one and 2.) Everything's on flash memory, which isn't volatile.

Don't the cows have to... eat? How is this any more efficient than burning corn directly?

The Pre's screen is smaller in area, but has the same resolution as the iphone. (480x320)

Maybe we shouldn't be refurbishing these warheads, then? Who, precisely, will we be using them on?
