How to use iPhone or iPod touch as a remote for Apple TV?

Did you know that you can use a free application from i tunes store called "Remote". With this application, your iPhone or iPodtouch turns into a remote. I love this feature and have strated using it a lot. It saves time and I do not have to use the white remote (see my previous post) which I am not so fond of. It is a different feeling to use a touch pad device as a remote. The cool thing is that I can also see the screen shot of a you tube video or a movie on my iPhone. This is amazing.
One more thing, using the "Remote" on iPhone or iPod touch, you can also play your iTunes files (music, music videos, movies, podcast) directly to TV using your Apple TV. It sounds simple but is great once you start using it.

I suspect that not many people are aware of Apple TV and all the features it offers for integration with other Apple devices like iPhone. Remember that you do not have to have a Mac for using Apple TV and these Fetures.
