AppleTV Update w/ Remote App Gesture Control
Apple has release version 2.4 of the AppleTV software and updated their Remote app for the iPhone/Touch.
The new updates allow for gesture control of the AppleTV through an iPhone or iPod Touch.
You can now navigate the AppleTV menus using finger swipes, taps and mulit-touch. The new Remote App also allows you to search your AppleTV using a QWERTY keyboard. These updates combine for a much faster and easier to use AppleTV/Remote interface.
Previously, it felt like the Remote app was only useful if you were not in view of the TV you were controlling (i.e. as a jukebox.) It always felt faster and easier to use the included AppleTV remote to navigate the menus on screen. This new setup really delivers an enhanced remote and makes typing on the AppleTV a breeze.
