iPhone : The Next Universal Remote?
When rumors began to circulate about the iPhone there were a few killer features I was hoping to see down the line. One was the idea of the iPhone as a powerful remote to control various Apple devices. You know, controlling iTunes on my computer, beam video to a friend’s Apple TV and controlling the device. Maybe even monitor the oil level in my iCar. As Apple integrates their products into our daily lives I can see where something like this could make sense.
I came across this application, called Signal, that allows you to control iTunes from your iPhone. I’ve tried it, it works, and it’s great cause other iPhoners can access and control the host iTunes for a kind of collaborative DJing session. Now if only people could add songs from their iPhone to a queue along with others.
