Chainfire works wonderfully - I haven't tried the magic lantern stuff yet.

I used the Chainfire DSLR Controller app on my [highly modified] Kindle Fire running to a 5D Mark II with ML installed. It did work, however, I had to completely restore the tablet after playing with the app because the device wouldn't turn on without doing a custom recovery. I don't know whether the app or the ICS ROM I installed was to blame. I simply gave up after that.

Truth it, I wanted it to work because I loved the novelty of the idea. Truth is, though, it's not something I would even find use for on a regular basis, so it's not that great of a loss.

I'm looking forward to what they do with the app in the future, though.

I agree there is a novelty thing about it, though I could see someone several steps more technical than me (most everyone) connect the USB to some sort of network device that allows for remote viewing, triggering, etc. Or if I were way into macro work that was tripod based. Would it be all that useful in a studio setting - things are pretty well controlled and android tablet displays aren't known for their high end photo realistic resolution, etc, etc. probably just connect it to a real computer.
