Can we rate songs, now? This has been on my wish list since day one.

In any case, I love that app.

Sounds cool but I am more excited that I see the iPhone formatted version of the website is back, thanks Rene!

I think they changed how it communicates too because I could never get it to connect on my work pc because the firewall had it blocked and I didnt have admin permissions. Now I opened it up and it works perfect. Strange…

I just played around with this and it's an AWESOME update. works just like scrolling through the iPod app. but iTunes gestures next please.

i wonder: does apple have to put their own apps through the same rigorous approval process? LOL

So, what, no guestures for itunes? bummer. what about front row? seems since that it’s just a stripped down version of the (apple)tv ui, they could throw some support in there. or, maybe, MAYBE have itunes switch to a front-row like ui (like fade into it when you start the remote app, just like when you play a movie) and bring up the more distance-legible ui, maybe throw a vizualization in the background of it… is that too much to ask for? probably.

This is awesome and completely elliminates the only reason I was hanging onto the white Apple Remote. Nice surprise!

Sorry, “not occupied” = “now occupied”

Another change in the Remote app – when watching videos, the spot where the Genius button normally resides is not occupied by a Jump Back 10 Seconds button, similar to the Jump Back 30 Seconds button in the podcast controls of iPhone OS 3.0.

Drake, Remote always had keyboard support for Apple TV. When you go to the YouTube Search page, for example, the Remote app changes to a text field and keyboard. At least it always has done that for me!
