This could work, depending on the software - presumably it puts some
image on the screen so you can frame the shot, and it shoots video.
You might need to put a wider angle lens over the front of it. I do
worry that between the resolution, generally poor contrast of iPaq
screens in sunlight and the natue of gaggle flying, it might be less
effective than a simple wide angle mirror.
