• There has been some live view apps for the iPhone and an USB solution in the past. Here is another (new?) product: PiXel LV-W1 Wireless Live View Remote Control for Nikon (currently only on eBay):

From the eBay listing (full specs also available):

Pixel LV-W1 device transmits the video signal, which is generated by Live View function, from the camera to the external receiver. The image preview from up to 100 meters allows to trigger the shutter in the most appropriate moment. What’s most important, the set – unlike other similar devices – is connected directly to the video output of the camera. Transmitted signal is of the highest quality and you do not need to mount camcorder on the camera viewer.
