Mac Rumors has some interesting news after reviewing the “Read Me” file accompanying the pre-release version of iTunes 7.7: An application is in the works to allow controlling of iTunes from an iPhone or iPod Touch. The to-be-released remote application will be made available as a free download from the App Store.
If you’re an average Joe, you can’t get the remote application yet (or iTunes 7.7), the 7.7 pre-release as made available to developers only. Expect a public release in upcoming weeks.
The exact verbiage from the “Read Me” file:
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.
UPDATE: 11 July 2008: This find was indeed correct. The iPhone App, simply called ‘Remote’ is a free download from the App store which allows control of Apple TV as well as iTunes libraries on Macs.
