RFDuino Wireless Arduino Platform

3689512651?profile=original
I've just stumbled across this RFDuino Kickstarter project with only 4 days left to run. 
It's a Bluetooth Low Energy Arduino Compatible platform. It uses a ARM CoreTex-M0 for processing power. It has shields that support servo motors amongst many other options. This would be a great platform for a bridge between a long range radio to your UAV and tablet based GCS. Could easily be programmed to support Antenna tracking, and it's cheap. Being Arduino compatible APIs would allow porting of the ArduStation code.
Bluetooth LE (also know as Bluetooth Smart) is supported on the most popular smartphone and tablets, Samsung S3 has BLE, as well as Apple iDevices. As the world of Internet of Things grows, BLE looks to become a major way to connect to these devices.
