From an RC buff....

Maybe it's just me, but with all the hype around the new iPhone I have
made a point up until now to not like the thing.

This has all just changed!

18 year old, Josef Prù¹a, has apparently turned his iPhone into a
controller for his RC motor car! Now he claims that it wasn't that
hard (at least for a 'puter nerd) and it only took him a few hours to
sort out.

Anyways, I the video is pretty damn cool! It actually seems like a
really cool way to control your rc motor car.
