Just saw this, kind of neat!

What do extreme sports, helmet cams, and little green robots have in common? Not much before today, but Contour's gone and changed all that by releasing an Android version of its iOS app -- you know, the one we first got our grubby paws on back at CES. Just like its Cupertino-blessed counterpart, the El Goog variant allows future X Games wannabees to use their phones as a viewfinder for those who possess a Contour+ or ContourGPS. We assume the ability to peep at the camera's battery life and how much memory remains also helps as you shred some epic, radical mountain, bro. If you've got either cam handy and a slab of Android in your pocket, tap the source link and take your cinematic skills to new, gnarly heights.

Sounds like a Countour is a GoPro kind of camera, and you can use your phone as a viewfinder.

App available at the Android Market:

Sounds pretty cool. I'd kill for that on my gopro...

That's slick. Amazing what you can so on your phone.
