About iPhly

iPhly is an R/C system for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It consists of two elements: the application which you are looking at, and a hardware plugin. The two elements communicate through audio. You need to plug the hardware into your phone's (or pod's) audio jack.

You can buy the hardware, or you can build your own. Details about both options appear at www.iphly.com.

You can see iPhly in action in this YouTube video.
