Remote is an application, developed by Apple, that allows you to control the music on iTunes or Apple TV with your iPhone or iPod Touch. At first this seems a bit mundane, but if you add an Airport Express you have the makings of a networked digital music player on par with Sonos, for a fraction of the cost. That makes Remote a very cool application.

Setting up Remote to connect to iTunes is as simple as entering a 4 digit passcode. The interface is similar to the music player interface you are used to seeing on your iPhone/iPod Touch minus Cover Flow. You have access to your entire iTunes library including Playlists. If you have multiple iTunes music libraries, on your home network,  you can easily switch between them.

Admittedly Remote is limited to an audience that wants and/or needs to remotely control iTunes, but I think Apple deserves some credit for seeing the bigger picture with this application.
