150 is much cheaper than an accessport...
you can order the stuff from the "hardware" section of that site.
it even broadcasts an unsecured network while using it. Sound like a much better solution for carpc'ers
instead of a wifi usb adapter, another cell phone broadcasting "wmwifirouter", canscan unit with serial to usb, then hoping it all connects.. just plug this **** in, then sync your phone to the pc

Kiwi Wifi and REV purchased
Yeah, I know i'm reviving a dead thread, but i couldn't see starting a new one. I just purchase Rev and got my PLX Kiwi Wifi today. There is another app for the iphone (Dash Command) that has a similar feature set, but REV looks more promising. There is also a $5 app that will read and clear codes, and has a few obd2 monitors. As stated, I went with REV, and in the 45 minutes or so that i've played with it, it's pretty sweet. It's more of a fun tech gadget than anything, but very nice.
The Kiwi Wifi plugs right in and is simple to set up. I have mine mounted to the steering column adjustment lever for now for easy access so i can turn it on and off. The power switch is nice, so i don't have to worry about draw on the battery. It's a light draw, so it's nothing to worry about really since my 8 is my dd, but a power switch is nice none the less. At some point I'll get an AP, but this will stay with me as i can use it for data logging and an extra gauge. Since it isn't tied to one car, i'm sure i'll have a bunch of new friends that need codes cleared. I went with the PLX device mostly because of price. It's also compatible with all of the iPhone apps that i've see so far. It has plenty of cord from the ODB connector to the device to mount it pretty much anywhere.
The REV software is pretty clean and easy to navigate, but is limited to one gauge at a time. Version 2 looks very promising, which is why i chose it over Dash Command. I'm surprised at it's speed and isn't nearly as laggy as i had expected. I had been playing with the free version for a while and like the accelerometer and gps functions already.
I'll post some screen grabs from my phone and some more of my thoughts after i've played with it some more.
