Well you should probably consider that as an add-on. To me, CD and even more Traktor DJ set have a lack of visual. But it's not always a lack of interaction.This iPhone thing adds a little bit of visual to something that can be boring to look at (which does not mean boring to hear or dance to).
Remember the good old traninspotter stuck in front of the DJs and trying to read on the vinyls the title of the tracks. With that new technology trainsptting will come back lol. And dont be affraid of iPhone looking crowds, trainspotters have always been a minority. Something interesting to add would be an iPhone app to actually download the played track (once they stream the artist/title that should be easy). I know Traktor/Beatport are closely linked so that can be easily implemented (except if iPhone does not allow paying downloads from other sources than iTunes). You might find that stupid or businessey, but like the ASCAP rights, that would allow the played artist to get higher revenue and basicaly to sell more tracks (= more exposition). In these days of crisis that doesnt sound to be a bad thing.
