does the water in the toilet swirl the other way, too?

looks like the app is "coming soon" ... could be problematic if you have to enable your smartphone as a wireless hotspot (tethering) ... at least with my carrier (T-Mobile) they charge $15 p.m for this feature ...

This thing will eliminate the need for an LCD back for our use... mount one on the front towhook, one on the rear wing or around the license plate area, another one suction-cupped to the side window. Control all three with a smartphone in-car and you'll be filming like Chris Harris' crew : )

live streaming doesn't work with the original gopro though.

Turns out the WiFi backpack has it's own internal battery similar to the battery backpack.

I think the Contour GPS is better. I think it's the lens. The video comes across as being actually HD (not so "digital" and more of a real 1920x1080p) plus GPS, plus being able to align the camera with an iPhone to view the output, etc. Generally better product, better shape, not as bulky, easier to use in harsh environments.

For remote control, the viewfinder through gPhone or iPhone is great.

I see they also have a livestream, which would be a fun toy for people in the paddock to be able to see the race from in-car. Maybe keep the family amused while you're driving and they're waiting, etc.

I think GoPro wins for marketing and they've done some great endorsement work with professionals, but otherwise, I'd suggest Contour.

Contour makes some nice stuff as well. Another good one to check out is the ReplayXD http://replayxd.com/ Great unit and nice HD video quality like the Contour, but crap battery life...

just got my GoPro WiFi Combo pack ... just fyi you need to update the firmware on your camera, wifi bacpac and the remote control ... http://www.gopro.com/update

basically you download the latest version of their studio app then connect the camera or the wifi bacpac to the computer, it will detect the devices and download the latest updates ...

now I have to take it to the track to play with it!
