*) Connection is lost when iPhone looses 3G signal and searches for GSM. The same applies to a situation when player is walking out of Wi-Fi signal. Some public Wi-Fi networks can be also slower (higher resonse time) then GSM network. These things vary greatly by operators and locations and it's something to test before you play. It takes 2-4 seconds to deliver a command under normal conditions.
