I would almost say that it would make more sense to have something you touch to create the changes in speed or intensity or whatever vs. air waving? And I would think it would be possible to actually use a smartphone (with vibration feedback) that you rub,touch whatever which would be better than air.

The feedback is important also. I fly rc helis and once you get used to using the sticks and the channels on a traditional radio using the iphone (say on an ardrone) and tilting to do the same (for me at least) is not as satisfying. It doesn't feel real or challenging.

Well, vibease is now alive and kickin' here, so there's a couple of other apps I'll mention:

- BodyHeat, by OhMiBod/PerfectPlum: http://www.ohmibod.com/app/

- Closer ToGetHer - http://www.getclosertogether.com/

Yups, there is one. www.vibease.com

I'm the founder btw. We help couples to stay intimate, even from a distance, by using mobile app and long distance vibrator. We use Bluetooth and internet. http://mashable.com/2012/10/26/vibease-sex-toy-app/

I would think some sort of hand-squeeze-o-meter would be ideal.
