Dpreview forum user “Bikr” built an Apple iPhone application to control the NEX cameras!
“The App sends the [shoplink 3003]Sony NEX-5[/shoplink] an IR signal through a transmitter connected to the iPhone. Two shutter release signals can be sent, immediate release and with a 2 second delay. The Sony NEX-5 remote below has the same capability. The Sony NEX-5 iPhone Remote Shutter App should also be able to control other Sony Alpha cameras with IR receivers. The NexRemote App will be in the iPhone App Store soon.
I have tons of features in the works including programming bulb timers , increasing the 2 second delay with a timer delay before firing the shutters etc.. Lots of stuff in the works!!
Android = I’ll work on it!!
intervalometer = It’ll be in next version I promise!!
Ipod Touch = 99% sure.”

AWESOME! Finally someone made it! Now… the DSLR release, please???? 😀
the Nex actually uses the alpha IR protocol, so if it works with NEX it works with most Alphas
btw. probably for the price of the clumsy IR attachment you could get a Nokia N900 and have it all working 🙂 (QTirreco or pyKake)
Awesooome been waiting 4 this 4 2 too long
I’d be more impressed if you could control the phone using the NEX 😀
There seen to be half a second delay when the time he press it.. Not as quick as the remote used on A700.
waiting for something for this for a long time however hopefully we can get a smaller transmitter than the one on video…
I hope they make a app that can be controlled via USB too. Could be much cheaper option (just wire and software) than IR solution.
NEX + Android = Boat load of WIN!!
