A reference in the late beta version of iTunes available with iPhone SDK Beta 8 points to a new Apple-made program that will navigate tracks on Macs and Windows PCs from any of Apple’s current handhelds which would be the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I figured an application would come forth like this eventually. I remember a patent a while ago that indicated this feature.

Beyond the new remote functionality, iTunes 7.7 is also known to add an Applications tab to let you specify loading only certain software on the phone, and will be necessary for both iPhone 3G and the MobileMe sync service.

Looking forward to the features to come!
