You said "why isn't there any wholehog network hardware? Like a wireless router (in anodized blue featuring airborne mammal motif, obviously)." Actually early in the project (2001), there was a Wholehog annodized blue Ethernet switch, but it never made it to market. A few lucky people in engineering and one customer have these units. The reality is that a small company in our small industry can never produce switches, wireless routers, etc at a price that will even come close to the consumer and professional products that are already on the market. Furthermore, most would rather have our engineers spending more time on direct lighting features than on things you can already purchase.
As for the remote app, as I have stated before it is on our list of things to complete. However we prioritize every release and this has been delayed in favor of other features. While this feature is popular, it has not slowed our console sales. Furthermore you can use a wireless tablet (or even a phone/ipad) via standard wireless networking.
