Can I control/operate a iPad 3 using an iPhone or iPod...?

[baldana]

LS,

In stead of getting an AppleTV, I want to buy an iPad 3 and install it permanently next to my LED TV. I will conntect the iPad 3 to my TV using the Digital HDMI Adapter but I need a way to control/operate the iPad 3 from a distance (like remote control) using either an iPhone or iPod or any other 3rd party device (remote control) that may exist.

Any suggestions/comments will be appreciated.

Just asking but why not the apple tv? You can controll that with an iPhone.

Back your question,
I don't think you can becuase apple didn't make their devices to communicate in that way. I noticed that in some apps you can controll functions within the app over bluetooth with another app on the iPhone, but it can not controll the iPad.
The apps I mentioned are games and I haven't seen this function in video streaming apps such as Netflix.

Also I think a apple tv and a iPad will go together so you can use the iPad as a remote/streaming (air play) device for your tv.
