How does the iPhone app work? most remotes are infrared, and the iPhone doesn't have an IR port.

I can't see how it would work without bluetooth/WiFi built into the camera.

The camera has to be constantly connected to a laptop or Desktop via USB Cable.

You then have to install a server onto the Laptop/Desktop and that is how the Ip/Itouch controls the camera.

Was excited by the idea until i did a bit more reading. Shame really would be a good idea if it could be done without the need for anything to be physically attached to the camera.

Makes sense, I thought it might have been one of those IR plugs you plug into the headphone jack. You play back an audio file that is translated by the IR plug into the right controls for the camera. You can make the IR plug thing for only a few $, I think there's a guide on Instructables.
