Any plans for smartphone apps like for iPhone iPad or any phone that uses for app to control like c.c?

I think iPad would be awesome if we can use it to control lights like we could remotely control with our house lights anytime.

We do not have any plans for an application or device that requires a third party product to operate.

An app alone can't do this. It would have to be coupled with an interface from the USB to a newly designed transceiver that could actually transmit the signal to the light's receivers. There may also be a sync delay problem induced by the USB bit rate.

Or one could produce a straight up WiFi reciever for the Einstein (or better yet a wireless bridge/hub/proxy to bridge from whatever wifi is used on the cyber parts to standard 802.11g exposing a standardized set of interfaces in the process) and have the computers and iPad and iPhone connect using built-in wifi and bypassing any USB dongle or cord concerns. Using a wireless bridge of some sort would likely be the best approach since it would be a seamless expansion of the system and wouldn't involve a huge hit to the existing system or software (assuming commands appear to be coming from the c.c.).

Something similar to Elinchrom's offering:
