Celestron- Hand Held Sky Scout Planetarium

Just found this little bit of info:

"SkyScout is a revolutionary handheld electronic device that can accurately identify and locate over 6000 objects in the night sky."

Looks interesting but expensive.

Makes me wonder if you could mount it to the OTA, and use it like an Argo Navis?
