If you've used Remote on an iPhone, you're likely to find using it on the iPad a better experience given the larger display. If you're using it to select and control video, such as with Apple TV, you can take advantage of an alternate control configuration that enables the iPad to function as a large touchpad.
Using iOS 3.1.2 or later, Version 2.1 of Remote is compatible with the iPad as well as the iPod Touch and iPhone, and will run synchronously on all devices. This version also provides functionality for listening to Internet radio broadcasts and access to rented media from iTunes.
This free app is useful for convenient control of media on a single computer, but the power to control a multitude of devices is its strength. If you want to add extra speakers to your kitchen or dining room, it can be as basic as adding an Airport Express base station (shown in the image) to your network and connecting the speakers. Using Remote to set volume levels for each output you add, you can optimize your entertainment experience from anywhere in your home. For your convenience, the following is a direct link to the Remote download page.
