Castle ESC Programable With Iphone/Android Phones?!?!

^^^ I figured it was dueo to some limitation of the USB ports they have. OTOH, I know you can use the droid phones (and more) as a tether to a laptop to the phones data connection.

Surely if you can run internet thru the usb port to a laptop, there has got to be some way to interface to a controller.

I would definitely be interested if they could manage it for the Ipad though :)

They still can't and for the same reason as the iphone. The ipad offerse no USB support except for an adapter to send pictures from your camera to the ipad.

The other thing is that currently the software is built using .NET. You'd need to install Mono on either the Android or iPhone; better luck with the Android since you can mod it. As long as Mono supports enough of the APIs it might work, but I doubt it has the support for interfacing with USB; don't know for sure as haven't looked into it. And then there is USB hosting issue.
