Apple's Remote: Turns Your iPhone Into a WiFi Remote Control
by Thomas Ricker, posted Jul 10th 2008 at 5:01PM
There it is, the new freebie from
Apple which turns your
iPhone or iPod touch into a remote control. It works with
Apple TV and
iTunes over the Wi-Fi network to play, pause, skip and shuffle your songs stored in your iTunes library. You get access to playlists, album art (displayed in the Remote app), control over AirTunes speakers, and the ablity to search your entire library. No video support apparently but free is free and 1.0 is 1.0.
Update: Looks like Apple has updated Apple TV to 2.1 with support for the new remote app, along with support for MobileMe. Get it via your Apple TV's Update Software feature (check out
Engadget for more images of the Apple TV update).
