I'm looking forward to giving this a test run when I can especially since it incorporates finger gestures. With the last version of <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284417350&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">Remote</a>&nbsp;I wasn't too impressed, I just couldn't get it working right. Granted that may have, ok is likely to have been, user error, but that is besides the point. Now I have a new version that I can attempt to master, I just hope it goes better than the last time I tried.&nbsp;</p>
