Apple Remote 2.0 Adds Support for iPad and Apple TV

Apple Remote 2.0, an application that allows users to turn their iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad into a remote control for iTunes and Apple TV, recently updated to support the retina display on the iPhone 4, iPod touch and the iPad, as well as the new Apple TV.

It works over the Wifi network at home and requires iOS  3.1.2 or later. "From anywhere in your home change a song, pick a playlist or browse through your entire library," according to Apple. "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."

The application is free and is available to download from the App store.
