I could probably implement the zoom feature into PhoneStreamer, but you would only see the results on the desktop, not on the phone.

Mostly because it would be extremely resource heavy for the phone to stream both to the remote PC and to show the live video at the same time.

As for the ssh features of phoneStreamer, what did you have in mind exactly?
It probably will work for the front camera but given the stunning IMAX-like quality (not!) of the front camera, who wants it? Enlarged pixel noise.....

I did this as an experiment and never thought of the n900 as a display medium. And as for the ssh stuff, that simply was the (easy) way I sent the instructions to the phone. You sir, are the dev. so the world is your oyster.... Issues would be, can one send instructions to the camera via gstreamer?
