I believe it's going to be a WiFi link! The Deus communicates through radio frequency, so it already has RF transmitters and receivers in each component.... I would guess it will make a WiFi network that you'll connect to with your phone.

This is exactly how my GoPro connects to my phone. You enable the wifi button on the GoPro, connect to the broadcasted network and then your phone uses the GoPro app and becomes a viewfinder for the camera and can make it take pictures.

This is just my theory btw.... Based on nothing else except it would make sense given the technology the Deus uses AND what I know works and have used on my GoPro.

I would believe your right.
Hope the App is fixed though. I tried using it last year and got nowhere. Just tried it with a new phone and same thing (grey screen no map). Sent a email to see if repairable.

now can this be a update on what i'm using now?

Yes
When they release the 4.V it will have all of the above capabilities.
Just upload it to your controller.
Only some updates will only work with the new high frequency coils.

They aint releasing anytime soon, been talking about it for year and a half and now being taken to court, we are screwed.......

Do a google search on "Minelab Sues XP". According to one article I read, the lawsuit is based on a Minelab patent regarding data transmission between detectors and between a detector and a computer. Does not appear to involve wireless technology and the patent (as is typical) is so broadly written that a number of MD manufacturers could be accused of having infringed on it. For example, one article states, "According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that it suffered damages to its business...because the defendants allegedly manufacture and offer for sale metal detectors that can store data." What I find most interesting is that Minelab, an Australian owned company, is suing XP (a French owned company) in a United States court (because it is a US patent). Don't know whether to laugh or cry.
