Apple Updates Remote App with iPad and Retina Display Support


As predicted, Apple has updated their Remote app that allows iOS users to control iTunes and their Apple TV from their devices. The app hadn't been updated for nearly a year, but has finally received a 2.0 update that brings support for the iPad, Retina display and new Apple TV. New features listed include:

- Designed for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
- Optimized for Retina displays and large screen real estate on iPad
- Support for Shared Libraries on iTunes and new Apple TV
- Bug fixes and compatibility with iTunes 10 and the new Apple TV

The new Apple TV has begun shipping already and should arrive in customer's hands later this week.

Finally a 2.0 upgrade! Will check it out and see how it pans out.

EDIT:
Hmmm. Update not showing up, but yet the new updated remote app (along with the ugly iTunes icon) shows up in the iTunes store.

Bravo, almost 10 months since the iPad was announced and this is finally upgraded. :rolleyes:

This is a textbook example of how not to do something.

I'd be happy just to have my Remote.app working again. It hasn't worked since iTunes 10.0.0

The big thing for me, does it have a full-screen option for iTunes? That's been bugging the hell out of me.

That's one big a$$ remote. Nicely done. I bet only one guy made this remote app too.
