Yes, you can just not mount the release on the hotshoe.

If you have two android phones, you can do wireless liveview with the DSLR controller app, even with the t2i. You'd plug in the USB cable from the t2i to one phone, set it up as a wireless controller, and then use the same app to connect to the first phone and get live view and controls.

It's clunky, but it works. It's been a while since I tried that though.

Wow! I have a android tablet and a phone. I will have to try this!

Thanks for the tip!
