Review: I waited for the second 3G version of the Iphone really for the faster data connection. Finding the applications feature after a little playing. I thought the remote control could be a great additional application. I use and Apple TV in a 3 story house alone with streaming Itunes from my Mac to a Airport Express jack out so I can listen to the same music at the same time all over the house. Using the remote control from other rooms to adjust tracks, pause and volume is fantastic. Works well with no problems.
Pros: Just works as it says on the box. For a free application so early on in the life of the new Iphone 3G I'm eagerly awaiting what those programmers can write in the future.
Cons: Have to pay for another download for the Ipod touch to use the same applications. The 2nd upgrade charge. Do Apple really need the money. The beauty of Apple has always been they care about your experience with their products and want to make it the best they can. Why now always charge to update charge for the hardware not the software to run it!

Review: Great to be able to control iTunes from the sofa, including pause it! Obviously this is beneficial if you listen to music on your PC when not sat directly at it. The instructions you send are instant and you can even adjust the volume. I was quite impressed and a cool thing to show off!
Pros: Instant instructions, Album art mirrored display on iPhone and iTunes. Range is excellent.
Cons: Shame u cant see the video on the iPhone whilst listening through PC speakers.
