It's my understanding that PacketVideo has no intention for you to share the video streaming from this device with anyone. If someone else wants to watch video on their smartphone, they'll need to get their own receiver.
The reason it uses Wi-Fi is to give users a wireless connection between their smartphone and PacketVideo's accessory. Wires are too much of a hassle, and Bluetooth isn't an option because it doesn't provide enough bandwidth.
