A cool, free new app on the App Store!

[webwise]

Check this out - fresh from MacRumors.com:

This was provided by Apple tonight to iPhone developers along with the prerelease version of iTunes 7.7:
"Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home -- a free download from the App Store."

A free app that will allow you to control iTunes via wifi - really cool.

Yet another reason to get excited about the iPhone 2.0 Software udpate!

Just curious, how many of you actually really, I mean REALLY need this?

When I use itunes, I'm usually at my computer. I don't have a media server, maybe if I did, I could see the point.

Help me understand.

I think it would be pretty handy if you're just chilling on the couch and your iTunes is on your desktop computer.Just another person looking out us lazy people

OK, I agree - no one NEEDS this. But you can make that argument about alot of things in life, right? I mean, if you want to discuss needs, there are only a few that make the list...food, water, shelter...(and for many of us, sex).

But here are a couple scenarios to use this feature - off the top of my head:

1) You throw a party with great music, and you need to control the music at the party - but instead of running to your computer at the other end of the room, you (drumroll please)...pull out your iPhone to change playlists (holy crap, I didn't realize that was that cool until I wrote it - when I say cool, I don't just mean your friends will think you're cool...I mean "chick-magnet cool" too).

2) Let's say you have one of those Airport Express's hooked to your entertainment center so that whatever's playing on iTunes is also playing on your stereo...again, to change whatever is currently playing - you simply - yes, you guessed it - pull out your iPhone...

3) Lastly, you're having a romantic moment with your significant other - just the right kind of music in the background, and all of a sudden - it starts breaking out with a very unromantic song like "Somebody Farted"...what do you do? Ruin the romantic moment by getting up (half naked, or worse, buck naked) to change the music? No, my friend, don't let her see your hairy butt, just grab your iPhone.

I rest my case.
