It's real - I posted this a couple of days ago... http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/showthread.php?t=70311
The same guys are also working on some other cool stuff using the N95 - including "race" games where you can race against someone else (anywhere in the world) using GPS tracking!
Imagine you are running down the street in your hometown and someone else is running against you in say.... Central Park New York!!!!!

This smacks too much of the James Bond film where he controls the car with the phone. The phone does not transmit a signal of the correct frequency to control a land based rc vehicle. In the UK that is 27 40 mghz or 2.4 ghz.

Did you even read that page...?
They have modded the car to accept Bluetooth instead of the proprietary wireless module that the RC car came with. A small microcontroller and a Bluetooth module replace the original wireless components. On the side of the mobile phone, a Python script translates the input of the acceleration sensor to commands that the microcontroller can understand in order to manage the steering servo as well as the main motor.

I am sorry if I have spoken out of turn, but I do not take kindly to insults. No offence to anyone else intended.
