Alongside Beta 8 of the iPhone SDK, Apple posted a pre-release of iTunes 7.7 to registered, paid iPhone developers. In addition to featuring support for the MobileMe service and a new “Applications” tab in the iTunes sync screen to manage apps being loaded onto iPhones and iPod touches, the software’s Read Me file confirmed an earlier report that Apple has developed an iTunes remote control application for the iPhone and iPod touch. The Read Me file states, “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.” Further details about the Remote application have yet to be revealed.
