The Boxee Remote is an application available on the iPhone that forges a WiFi connection between the iPhone's touchscreen interface and Boxee media centers so that you control your audio and video streaming from a distance. The Remote app comes in two different versions: the Buttons mode has a directional pad with select and return buttons that you highlight to give commands, while the Gestures mode turns the iPhone screen into a touchpad that moves on icon on your TV screen, mouse-fashion, allowing you to highlight and select various options. If you come across a screen asking for text input, the iPhone will produce its touchscreen keypad for you to input data. The Boxee Remote application is a free download.
