What would be really cool IMHO...

... is a mount fitted with encoders, with a WiFi / bluetooth link to an iPhone - and use the iPhone as the user interface. This would eliminate most of the electronics on the mount and at the same time give you a much more capable computer and user interface.

It looks like the developer of StarMap Pro is heading in this direction as the current release already sports some aspects of the controls for a scope, though they aren't functional yet, and it looks a whole lot better than Vixen's StarBook.
