Talking iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed

Title pretty much says it all.
I have created a iPhone/iPod touch (sorry iPad users) application, that allows for full, 100% control of the robot without the need for the driver station, becasue the application IS the driver station.

The app features the ability to
  • Enable/Disable the robot
  • Teleop/Autonomous Control
  • Read battery voltage and robot state
  • Full digital and analog I/O
  • 10 joystick buttons
  • 2 virtual joysticks
  • accelerometer control

Future Abilities will include
  • Camera View
  • Robot debug messages
  • Anything suggested that is "reasonable"

This app will have a few final improvements to be made (icons, splash screen, etc) but should be submitted to apple shortly. Updates will be posted on the state of the applications submission progress

Also attached are a few images of what the UI looks like so far. As always on CD, any and every comment/suggestion is more than welcome.

Edit:
This application also requires no flashing/specialized reprogramming on the robot to work, joysticks are initialized and read in as normal.
