DVPRemote is a very useful 99 cent application that turns an iPhone or iPod Touch into a Roku Player remote. What's really interesting about the app is that it uses Wifi to control the Roku Player, so you can hide the Player in a cabinet or behind a TV.

Wait, you can control the Roku over WiFi? Are there any other tools for controlling it this way (desktop, other phones, etc)?

wait for the apple tablet. it'll be ideal for coffee table computing and will probably run iPhone apps on it.

G1/Android has had this feature for a long time as the Gmote, a FREE app that controls your PC / media library via WiFi.

thanks for the useless info, Matt! I'm sure all those IPhone users out there who read that will instantly drop their mobile carrier and platform just to save a budget breaking 99 cents...

If you happen to have an Andriod phone, I've released Roku Remote, which is an app that works the same way. It's available on the Android marketplace.

There is no limit to ipod apps. I get surprised everyday with something new. This is an interesting one although it has a limited use.
