This might be something that you're looking for: This Bluetooth Smart Trigger Turns Your iPhone Into A Canon DSLR Remote And Intervalometer | TechCrunch. I'm thinking about buying it, so I can't tell you yet how well it works. But it does time lapse and long exposure using an iPhone.

Thank you all for you help and suggestions: experiment worked just fine!

Magic lantern?

And sorry, Burgh, in Germany I cannot view your video as it contains some music that must no longer be played in my country without paying fees for listening to it (sigh!), so it simply got blocked. As happens with soooooo many videos here these days.

Then it is time to move ...... to the land of the free with milk and honey

I've installed magic Lantern on my T1i, and there are a bunch of features that I like using. Haven't had any crashes or lockups yet, and it has been on my camera for 6 months or so now. As Tim has noted, it boots off the memory card, and complements the Canon firmware. Lots of options, so the camera can be customized in many ways. I am getting addicted to the additional features it provides.

Is the Canon camera menu still intact, or does it replace it entirely with a new menu system?

Completely intact. The main menu of Magic Lantern is invoked using the "delete" button (wastebin), and the secondary is attached to the Live-view button. I can flip between the different functions very easily, and the Canon menus are not affected at all. The additional functions show up in Live-view where you can toggle between the "native" and "magic Lantern" overlays.

Cool. Good to know. I've been meaning to try it out, and that was one of my concerns with it. Thanks!
