Interesting idea, since I have a bin full left over from my office days.

I haven't got a smartphone, but I wonder if the phone's camera be triggered remotely, or if it has a time delay? Otherwise what's the point of "tripod" mounting it anyway?

To make use of those stupid clips that are piling up in your desk of course!

Um, yes.  There will be an app for that.  I bet there's one that trips the shutter when it detects motion too.  Plus it does video.

same use you'd use a tripod with any other camera, steadiness at low shutter speeds, smooth panning in video mode.

You can fire the shutter remotely, with an App, I can use my iPad to view the iPhone's screen and remotely take photos with it and vice versa. And many apps have timer delays also.
