Apple to Offer iTunes Remote Control App for iPhone and iPod Touch

Apple released a pre-release version of iTunes 7.7 for developers tonight. In the Read Me of the iTunes installer is a hint at a previously unannounced iPhone/iPod Touch application:

Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home — a free download from the App Store.

Apple reveals that they will be offering a free app on the App Store that allows you to remotely control iTunes in your home from your iPhone or iPod Touch. The application will presumably work under Wi-Fi to control playback of iTunes. 

Apple has previously patented methods to implement such an iPhone Media remote control.

iPhone 2.0 Firmware and App Store on July 11th

Despite some recent reports about an early Firmware 2.0 release, one reader points out that Apple’s iPhone 3G press release pinpoints July 11th to be the day of the 2.0 software launch:

iPhone 2.0 software will be available on July 11 as a free software update via iTunes 7.7 or later for all iPhone customers

This also correlates to what Apple and AT&T representatives are telling enterprise customers. 

Meanwhile, one analyst believes that Apple has increased their order for 3G iPhones to 15 million for 2008, well above their targeted goal of 10 million iPhones. Finally, we’ve heard that some locations (such as early reviewers) have already been seeded with the iPhone 3G in anticipation of the upcoming launch.
