I really like the concept as a "cool" idea, but I have trouble seeing it as anything other than a rarely used (and high premium) delivery method for urgent (and small!) items, with probably a very limited number of supported locations.
Apart from anything else, I wonder how it would find the right house? I mean GPS generally only gets me to within a fairly general area of particular house or office most of the time. And as Jake said, many people don't have yards to conveniently drop stuff into.
And if it becomes more widespread, what happens when thousands of these little buggers are flying through the air?
Amazon does keep impressing me, though. I ordered a new tv today, and I had a little message saying "Prime members save an additional $10 on this TV" - never seen that before. Plus I caved and got an Amazon credit card - 3% off all Amazon purchases adds up fast (we must spend 10s of thousands a year there), plus you get $50 instantly.
