I could have sworn I saw somewhere that you can control someone having to do with the iPhone if you have a mac w/ a mac remote (intel)??
Got a tip for us?

remote won't do anything.
Maybe it was controlling the iPhone when connected to the mac...? And controlling it through the computer...? I thought I read something about that.. hmm...
I saw this, too!
When Apple first posted the Accessories page (http://www.apple.com/iphone/accessories/) you could click Bluetooth headset, for example, and it would take you to the Store page showing the details and under the dual dock included with the headphones it would say you could control the iPhone with an Apple remote. This is gone now, but I verified that it was there last week after someone said you couldn't do that.
Now the description about using the dock with the Apple remote is gone. My only thought is that even the iPhone accessories were secret within Apple, and the web folks had to rush to put together the pages right before public info was released, so they copied some of the descriptions for the various iPhone docks from iPod dock pages...
Unfortunately, I've clicked my Apple remote at the iPhone with no avail... unless it is in my iPod dock which has the little black IR port on the front...
