Of course if you are the military and in need of remotely controlling your cannon what better way of doing so than using your Windows Phone 7 Series smartphone?

Well that would seem like a possibility for future military artillery anyway with this video demonstration of Windows Phone 7 controlling a cannon which comes courtesy of the guys over at engadget.

Presumable the nearly two and a half minute cannon demo was just a fun way to show off the possibilities of what can be achieved with Windows Phone 7 Series.

Still, if you see a sudden surge in sales of the first Windows Phone 7 Series smartphone when it becomes available it could be the US military snapping up all the smartphones to use to remotely control their artillery…enjoy.
