I gave it a shot. It works AMAZINGLY well. It allows you to get snapshots from your computer's iSight, it lets you control your mac from your iPhone, it uses your background wallpaper as its background, it scrolls through your files just like the bookmark view of the Safari app, and it opens up pictures and office documents. It does not however, play mp3 files from the browser...
Right click on the iPhone Remote dock icon and select Preferences. From there, enable the media port. Then, you can launch MP3s on your iPhone browser and mp4 quicktime videos. It's incredible! Can't wait to show this off at work. Really, there are so many uses for this. I am going to get some cash together for a media server. Forget an Apple remote, I can control my music from across the world! :)
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”
