The problem is not power. The iphone/ipad are only able to appear as usb devices, not hosts. So it is like asking a usb printer to control a usd hard-drive, not really ever going to happen.

I know nothing about this stufff of course. Yes, that does work, except USB won't do you much good on the iphone/ipad end because apple chose not to allow apps to use it.

If you wrote an app to communicate from your iphone to an android phone you could do all of this in a modest sized package

However, is you use wi-fi to communicate with the device that can act as a USB host it works fine. The simplest and most flexible device that has wi-fi and USB hosting is called a laptop, which rather conveniently already has software to control the camera written for it. I love my iphone and my ipad btw, so apple fanboys can look elsewhere for a fight. Just because I love them doesn't mean they couldn't be better though. I was picturing an iphone lashed to a bracket and used as a video screen on a 5d2 or 7d... "Can't list equipment, wife checks here to see what I have bought lately" (calicokat)

Yeah, it seems Samsung disabled the USB host functionality on the S2 recently. People are expecting the functionality to return with Ice Cream Sandwhich, as well as USB host capabilities for other phones (hardware permitting). - James -
