If you've ever wanted to remotely access the files on your mac's hard drive through the Safari application on your iPhone (and who hasn't?) then you'll want to download Telekinesis from the genius mind behind Quicksilver. This also allows you to turn your iPhone into a remote control for operating your Mac's iTunes, although given that my computer actually shipped with a remote that I never use as is, the somewhat clunky web-interface for duplicating this function doesn't seem incredibly useful. Suffice it to say that I fully expect this program to get better when it's had more than a week to exist.

Hope you don't have to change your battery on the Iphone. It's soldered onto the chassis. You'll have to ship it back to Apple and they'll install a new battery for $79. They'll send you another Iphone you can use temporarily for $29.
What a deal.
You would think the best phone ever would have already had such a thing built in.
Quicksilver is the bomb.
Free open source app that does so many things, it's scary.

The iTunes remote function could be more useful because the Mac remote is just infrared, so isn't much use from another room or outdoors.
It would be even more useful if you have an Airport Express connected to speakers, for iTunes streaming.
