I’ve thought for some time that it would be awesome if I could control iTunes from my iPhone. I tend to just let my tunes play throughout my house, as my speakers can be heard throughout most of the house. Unfortunately when I want to pause the music or change a song, I have to run to my computer. Well it seems that Apple already has something up their sleeve in this department.
For those that have downloaded the pre-release version of iTunes 7.7 (for developers) there was a little something snuck into that pesky ‘Read Me’ that most of us simply skip through. The important snipit is below.
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.
I would venture to guess that you’ll be limited to controlling iTunes on only the PC that the iPhone is synced with, which shouldn’t be an issue for most people. This particular feature had been rumored to be coming since late April. It’s good to see some of these rumors coming true.

We saw a good deal of pictures of the new iPhone 3G at WWDC earlier this month, but wouldn’t it be cool to see a side-by-side comparison of the new and old phones? Ask and you shall receive.
It looks like the edges of the phone are a little more streamlined, with only the volume rocker and the headphone jack disturbing its sleek lines. With the headphone jack not being recessed this time around, there is barely even a visible divot there. I want to say that the camera hole is larger, but I’m thinking that it may simply be a trick of the eye.

If you’ve ever been surfing the net on your iPhone and been frustrated by having to log into the same sites every time you visit them, then I’ve got a cool fix for you. You’ll need to have a jailbroken iPhone (or iPod Touch) in order to use this. Just add http:/repo.ispazio.net to your sources in Inataller. Refresh, and search for iRemember. This will modify a few permissions that should allow your iPhone to keep your cookies around longer.

Currently Pornography websites have been integrating downloadable files into there database making it easy to copy onto your iPhone and watch on the go.
“It’s by far the porn-friendliest phone,” says Devan Cypher, representative for San Francisco–based Sin City Entertainment. As evidence of the gadget’s rocketing popularity in California’s capital, the San Fernando Valley, numerous iPhone-specific porn sites have been launched in recent months. “There are a few hundred iPhone porn sites now in use,” says Farley Cahen, vice president of business development for AVN Media Network, the adult industry’s trade body.
As the 3G release nears the adult entertainment industries prepare to launch sites that will be able to be accessed by the iPhone. With the overwhelming popularity of the iPhone this industry has seen an opportunity and gone after it with full force.
“Three out of four iPhone users are men with above-average incomes, and iPhone users spend heavily on entertainment. More than a third of iPhone users shell out more than $100 on phone and data charges every month, as compared with just one-fifth of other cell-phone users.”
