It's cool technology but during the demo it looks like its using the Ethernet connection not the wireless from the camera, at no point does the guy mention he's using the WT-5 to do the communication. Still a very fun feature set, which I imagine will only be limited my peoples imagination and ingenuity.

I imagine that the Olympics will possibly see this used for a lot of the unmanned cameras for focus adjustments or exposure adjustments to the banks of cameras setup around the various athletes etc. Finally you can do fine tuned adjustments previously unavailable once the camera are setup.

Finally! This is yesterdays technology but it's great that at least Nikon is bringing it us. Now where is that radio flash?

Yep, no working dongle attached as the FCC has not approved it yet.
