"Line 6 and D'Addario, the world's leading producer of musical instrument strings, drumheads, reeds and accessories, announced today the development of MIDI Mobilizer™, a new portable MIDI interface, and Planet Waves® Rig Remote™, new iPhone™ software that will enable guitarists to control Line 6 guitars and amplifiers via Apple® iPhone and iPod® touch.
Marcus Ryle, Line 6 co-founder and SVP of research and development, demonstrated a prototype at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). He adjusted the tone of a Vetta™ II digital modeling amplifier and changed the tuning of a Variax® digital modeling guitar from the palm of his hand. 'With the MIDI Mobilizer,' he remarked, 'the iPhone becomes the most portable and versatile editor and tone storage device for your Line 6 gear. Finding the perfect tone has never been easier.'"

In this post Gizmodo makes it sound like you can plug your instrument directly into your iPhone to process audio real time. Everything I'm seeing on the Line 6 site makes it sound like the iPhone acts as a remote control to their hardware which does the actual processing. If anyone knows more, feel free to comment.
