App Store to sell iTunes Remote for iPod Touch & iPhone


Any of you who watched the Application previews in the latest Keynote must be getting quite excited by now. I'm so glad I bought a 16GB iPod Touch - all that extra storage for apps. I can still amaze colleagues by showing them that my iPod can surf the net and do email; just wait 'til they see Super Monkey Ball. Yesterday a developer found something very interesting when snooping around the beta version of iTunes 7.7. He found out about an app that lets you use your iPhone or touch to control iTunes from anywhere within your hotspot. How good is that?! Well, it will certainly be useful to me as I have my iMac in a different room to my stereo and link the two through Airtunes on an Airport Express. It's an old Express which seems to overheat (as it did at a recent party) which meant the music kept cutting out (I must get a newer faster one). The Apple Remote that came with my iMac is useful, but quite basic. But I'm guessing the iPod remote would link-up with your iTunes library just like any other computer sharing your network. That way you'll be able to scroll through your tracks as if they were on your iPod. Well, I hope that's how it'll work. We'll just have to wait until the App Store opens it's doors on the 11th. The picture above is a Mock-up from the Mac User Website.
