TG Daily is reporting that the latest iTunes 7.7 beta release hints at a new free application to be offered by Apple for the iphone and iPod Touch. The application called Remote will allow iPhone and ipod Touch owners the ability to access iTunes wirelessly from anywhere within the home. It seems the Remote application would interact with iTunes on a computer in order to control streaming media.
Data to be transferred wirelessly to the iPhone/iPod Touch is expected to include song name, artist and other metadata included in the file for playback. TG Daily reports that Apple tipped its hat to offering such an application such as Remote when it filed an application for such a utility back in 2005. The iTunes 7.7 update is also expected to take advantage of new features to be released in the iPhone 2.0 software update.
Apple knows that it is a winning combination to enhance the functionality between iTunes and hardware such as the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is this marriage of hardware and online services which has spurred Apple’s continued success with the iPod and iTunes franchises. These latest enhancements to iTunes also shows that Apple isn’t slowing down anytime soon when it comes to maintaining its dominance in the mobile player market.
