Apple today released Remote 2.1 app for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
Apple’s Remote app lets you control iTunes and Apple TV using your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad over your Wi-Fi network. Choose playlists, songs, and albums as if you were right in front of your computer or Apple TV. From anywhere in your home change a song, pick a playlist or browse through your entire library. With a flick of your finger, you can even control every aspect of the Apple TV user interface. Use your device’s QWERTY keyboard to quickly tap out the title instead of clicking letters on the Apple TV screen. Then keep tapping to play, fast forward, rewind, and pause to your finger’s content. Remote has been fully optimized to take advantage of the large screen real estate of the iPad as well as the spectacular Retina display in the iPhone 4, and new iPod touch.

Bugs I filed are fixed, and the app really rocks now.
…and it’s snappier!
Access to Internet Radio a big one! This App is the sh!t for in house audio control.
I just updated Apps day before yesterday. Went to update Remote, and found 16 Apps with updates! Contrary to finding this a nuisance, I enjoy having rapid access to continuing improvements. No waiting for major releases and upgrades 1 or twice a year. Constant polishing.
Getting ATV for Christmas. I was sure hoping video streaming was going to included by the time the 25th rolled around.
Outstanding!

I had 27 after a 2 days lapse. I may I have too many apps.
Thanks for the useless info, battery!
That app is sick. Just used it with my AppleTV and it is brilliant.
