Lots of misinformation on here.
Product is already out for Canon and Nikon is in development. $1.99 for lite version and $9.99 for full featured.
This is for tethered studio shooting. Camera hooked via USB to your Mac that has wifi. Abilitiy to control shutter, aperture, ISO, white balance, etc.
Rather than $100 for a remote for my D200, I will gladly spend $10. The only time I need a remote is in the studio anyhow.

I think this is nonsense… the app screencaptures are from the Canon DSLR remote control app. And you must connect your camera by USB to your computer and then remote control the computer with the ipod/iphone? So what?

I’d really appreciate a remote control tool for my D80 and really like to use an ipod touch as a remote. Even a cable would not do any harm. But unfortunately the usb controller in any ipod is not able to be a host. You can see it by the cables. The universal adapter is adapted to a big usb plug, you won’t get any mini usb to universal adpater cable

Remote control via Wi-Fi means the camera must have a Wi-Fi-interface.

EyeFi might do the trick for “tethered shooting”, but does not have an option for controlling camera settings or even “push the button”.

Pity, but I don’t think this comes for real

regards,
Frank

To be fair. Leaf digital backs allow you to push images to the iphone as you are tethered to a computer. That lets me get my AD’s off the back from my digital techs.

I also carry a portfolio of work around on the phone, I don’t use it as my book, but it lets me give people an idea of my work.

If this is real, the best way to use it would be with the camera tethered to a wireless transmitter. D3->WT-4A. The WT-4A tethers to the camera via USB. Both the iPhone and the WT-4A connect via 802.11A, B & G.

Let’s hope that it will soon be able to connect directly to the wifi options of the D3/D3x. That would be a very cool remote control.

Cheers,
Bernard

i thought they were using the iphone as a shutter release via a usb cable connected to the camera
that would be nice

When the new iPhone 3.0 software hits it will allow access directly to the iPhone’s bottom port making it possible to connect it straight to the camera.

Nothing wrong with a square donut – there’s more surface area.

That’s completely absurd. The iPhone is the first such device that has email and synching to Outlook of sufficient quality to enable me to work out of the office without carrying a laptop. It has made me far more productive. And it’s the first smartphone to have a decent browser. Some of my earlier phones had web access and other functions that the iPhone has, but they were implemented so poorly, they were useless. That’s why the iPhone is driving such high web usage from smart phones – it’s the first device to make the web usable on a smart phone.

Good user interface design is not just “cool” – it’s mandatory for efficiency.
