I tried one of the iPad controllers that are available. I just tried the free version, I didn't buy the full version. However, it did not have full Sonar functionality and the PC had to be "on line" (at least on line with the wireless router) to function. I keep my PC off line when recording (I disable the NIC).
Unless the Cakewalk product is a Bluetooth connection, it will face the same issue of requiring the PC to be on line. But if it is Bluetooth that will require installing a Bluetooth adapter, for many PC's.
I would like another wireless option as my Frontier Tranzport is flakey (sometimes stops working and requires a PC reboot to get it back operating). Whether this is a hardware problem or Win 7 compatibility issue, I haven't been able to determine. I have installed the Transport in the native Win 7 mode and a Vista compatibility mode and it didn't make any difference, but then Windows 7 is basically just "Vista improved". The Tranzport is a discontinued product.
