Offering to play matchmaker between your high-end camera and smartphone, XEquals has extended support for its BlueSLR handheld remote control beyond iOS. Yes, Blackberry and Android users can now download their respective app and pair this Bluetooth dongle to their (still Nikon-only) DSLR. The compatible dongle and free app will land later this month, but before you lay down the requisite $149, it’s worth checking that both your camera and make contact with models are supported. Because it stands, compatible Android phones are limited to a few HTC or Samsung models. While Android support is probably going to expand someday, there isn’t any word on a Pre 3 version.
