Hello.

First of all I love this app and it's by far the best purchase I've ever made on the App Store.

You hook your iPhone to a dock, and with the composite cable and manage it with the IR remote. Superb.

Then I realized that I also have an iPod touch, so the iPod could stand in the dock meanwhile I manage it from my iPhone.

How could I do this? Well, with a jailbroken iPod touch with a VNC server, and the iPhone with a VNC client. But jailbroken it's not allowed by Apple, so this option is no valid.

So I wonder if the Air Video app for iPhone could work in two ways, one as usual (which would go in the dock to stream video, for example, an standalone iPod touch) and the other way as a Library mode (for example, your iPhone), hooked via Bonjour/Wifi with the iPod touch, so you only have to select from your iPhone what you'd like to watch, and send the order to the iPod touch, so it would stream the video. And if you add a good library mode, as the XBMC app for iPhone which reads your XBMC library, would be scary amazing!!!

What do you guys think? Would you find those features interesting?

P.S.: These features have a second reading. If you have a small TV (for example in your bedroom) and you find a cheap iPod touch, you have already a set top box for your bedroom's TV!!
