Utility developer Warelex has produced Wi-Fi enabled versions of its popular Mobiola Screen Capture, Mobiola Web Camera and Remote Control applications, claiming that the new connection method is "much better for presentation and frame rate".

Been using Mobiola, and trying out the different connections for a few weeks now. The Wifi connection has endless possibilities, from low level aerial photography, being able to see live images from your phone whilst up in the air, by either using a helium balloon, or rc plane, or helicopter, to cctv setups.
