Native iPhone Winamp Remote

For those looking for a good Winamp remote control for iPhone, without streaming audio, take a look at iAmpRemote. It's a native iPhone app available from the iTunes App Store. It's easier to use and more responsive then other remotes that run in a web browser.

Not much of a challenge

I can not see how this is much of a challenge to the iPhone. Sure it plays music like the iPhone but that is not what people are going to buy an iPhone for. They are going to buy it for easy of use and the interconnectivity of the various functions of the phone. Until competitors understand that people want easy to use consumer goods they will not catch the iPhone. One case in point: my Motorola Razr requires me to press the keys 18 times to start a text message. I could pare that down to about 13 if I rearrange my contacts, etc. but that means I would have to spend some time setting it up. The iPhone will take about 2 to 4 touches of the screen to set up an text message. Add in the ability to use wi-fi to browse the web and use google maps and you have a set of feature that will attract a lot of users.
