Thus, no PC/Mac or cables are required and the K3 can be remotely controlled from anywhere within 30+ feet of the radio.

I think they are an exciting addition to the Elecraft Mojo, but they also need the benefit of users ideas on how to make them better. Also, maybe other iDevice or Android developers will be inspired to develop their own apps to add even more capabilities.
