How To Configure The iPhone Remote To Work With iTunes Video

We recently wrote a brief how-to article explaining how to set up the iPhone remote which controls iTunes and Apple TV wirelessly. However, lots of people still had questions.

That being said, check out this Remote how-to video:

The pass code in the Remote app and in iTunes should match (ours did not because we had multiple takes to show the device loading in iTunes)

In closing, I'd like to remind you that although there are some great new cases coming out for the iPhone 3G, the iPhone 3G will still fit into your old iPhone's case.

However, the fit might be not as snug due to the slightly curved back on the 3G. Also note that these cases haven't actually been released and reviewed by the heavy hand of the public, so we can't recommend any specific cases just yet.

And from your "original" iPhone experience, you already know that it takes a few tries to find the perfect fit.
