I took this from phandroid:
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:
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.
- There’s only one word to describe it: perfectomfgthisissocool
- Verdict: download it now.
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!

sweet app I look forward to using it
i got the iphone version installed on my iphone, and it seems to work ok, kind of sluggish though.. i hope this one is better!
Nothing sluggish about the Android version -- touch and it instantly responds !! Scrolling through hundreds of artist names is quick too, only the slightest hiccup in scrolling that doesn't affect you in any way. Very impressed!
Yeah - I've got it installed on my G1 and I'm loving it. Now when I'm around the apartment, cleaning or whatever, I can control iTunes (music only, I think) without having to come back to my computer!
It works flawlessly, too! Almost instantaneous actions, smooth scrolling, etc... It's nice.

ROFL @ your signature![]()
That's awesome...
I downloaded, disabled the Market trusted apps setting, then tried to install. It looked like it was installing but then gave the "install unsuccessful" message.
Also when I ran the installer it gave a bunch of warnings of things the app would take control of inclucing the phone, mms, contacts, etc. Is that a "universal warning" for apps that are not in the Market?
yep it works great.
