 While the commercial devices above should be save (or at least offer some liability) there is a chance the DIY projects might hurt your camera. See [http://vimeo.com/groups/magiclantern/forum/topic:255083 this post] on the vimeo forum.

 Unfortunately very few smart devices have an USB host to control external readers, iOS would need a special circuitry attatched to their propretary port. Hence proliferation of tools claimed to coontrol the camera from a smartphone, that are more conveniently using a real computer as bridge.

The gphoto project also collects informations what cameras can be remotely controlled and in what ways: http://gphoto.org/doc/remote/
 Hence there are many programs to control your camera from a computer but only few that do the same from a portable device. However, availability of cheap USB host circuitry has triggered some do-it-yourself projects and apparently even some smartphones can use USB hosts nowadays.
