Android iTunes Remote Control: SWEET!
Muthu Ramadoss
Jeffrey Sharkey, the Android developer behind Compare Everywhere, has
put another notch in his Robot Belt… and this is a HUGE one. Sharkey has
created an Android Application that works as a Remote Control for your
iTunes. That’s right… you can use your T-Mobile G1 and future Android
Phones as a remote control for iTunes on your PC or Mac!
Sharkey reversed engineered the technology on the iPhone and iPod Touch
that allows for this and re-programmed it to work with Android. All you
have to do is download the application, virtually NOTHING else is
needed. And even better, in the open source spirit of Android, Sharkey
has made the application FREE to download and supplied the FULL SOURCE
CODE!
Take a look at the application in action on an emulator:
Congratulations, Jeffrey… this is an AMAZING application for Android and
will surely be one of the most popular. This very application release
serves as a great testament to what Android stands for and what
consumers and tech enthusiasts can look forward to.
To give you a frame of reference, when the Application was launched for
the iPhone it was one of the first that Gizmodo reviewed and they had
this to say:
* There’s only one word to describe it: perfectomfgthisissocool
* Verdict: download it now.
Its getting harder and harder NOT to jump on the Android bandwagon. As
Android progresses, so will the applications. Your phone might age, but
the possibilities will always be increasing with an eternally expanding
library of applications.
Android iTunes Remote Control is what Android is all about. Thank you
and Congratulations to Jeffrey Sharkey and all the other developers out
there who are making Android what it is!
