We just got word that Apple has approved Boxee‘s iPhone Remote App into its App Store. According to Boxee Blog, the app works in gesture / button mode and is capable of inserting input text via iPhone’s qwerty keyboard. The app also provides a thumbnail image of the media you’re playing along side minimal player controls. Bottom line: the Boxee iPhone Remote works closer to a touch pad remote than a standard TV remote you’re used to. Below is an excellent video demo created by TapCritic and some tips from Boxee Blog on how to use the new app.
- the boxee remote app has two modes: Gesture and Buttons
- in the Gesture mode you need to hold down your thumb and move it around in order to navigate.
- clicking on the boxee logo acts as Select/Play/Pause
- dragging the boxee logo to the edges of the screen will act as a continuous up/down/left/right
- clicking in an input field will open up the iPhone Qwerty keyboard and will enable you to easily enter text
- the app works over WiFi, so make sure the WiFi on your iPhone is turned on
