XBMC App For Your iPhone
One of the coolest apps that ever rolled out of the iTunes app store was the Apple Remote app that allowed you to control your iTunes or Apple TV via your iPhone or iPod Touch. This has come in quite handy when I can’t find the remote for my Appple TV.
Now you can have that same fun and functionality with your XBMC (Xbox Media Center). The remote application (iTunes Link) allows you to control your XBMC with your iPhone or iPod Touch. You will clearly need an instance of XBMC (They just release a new multi-platform beta) running somewhere. Features include:
- Play, queue and shuffle the media on XBMC
- View cover art for albums, TV Shows and movies
- View artist and album reviews and information
- ‘Standard’ remote mode. Control XBMC with standard remote buttons
You can pickup XBMC from iTunes for $4.99.
