Apple has released Remote 1.3.3, the latest update to its remote control application for the iPhone and iPod touch. Remote allows iPhone and iPod touch users to access and control their iTunes installations or Apple TVs directly from their devices, doubling as a keyboard and touchpad navigator for the latter. According to Apple’s release notes, Remote 1.3.3 provides bug fixes, as well as the previously added compatibility with iTunes 9 and Apple TV 3. Remote is available now as a free download from the App Store.

Just installed this update on my iPhone 3G. When I try to start the app it shows a blank screen for 2 secs then goes back to the home screen. Tries re-booting, no difference. This is very frustrating becuase it worked perefctly before!
Any suggestions anyone? Please?
