PSP iTunes Remote

So, that's what you do with a PSP. Now I know why C.K. is so crazy about them.
Coverbuddy, a PSP, and Wifi turns the PSP into a remote control for your Mac. Now, if someone could do this on a Nintendo DS I would have a reason to pick it up (other than Mario Kart DS).

Just bought a copy of Coverbuddy, and so far it works pretty well. Set it up with my PSP and am rocking the iTunes remote. I was considering selling the PSP but now I have a real reason to keep it. So far so good.

Sweet feature. I haven't thought about picking up a personal gaming system but maybe this will actual make it worth it.

PSP fine - lack of HD/Flash Drive major problem - look up price of memory stick to add to your purchase ... you almost think that's where Sony is making the money ... but nah, Sony's not the kind of company that would treat its customers shabily, would they?

There's another app that does this - PatioTunes - and works via the web on PSP or Mac to control iTunes in another Mac. I think PatioTunes works with other platforms that can browse the web. But PatioTunes isn't - same as CoverBuddy.
I'm looking forward to try this.
BTW - stop the Sony bashing on this one. The PSP is a great platform, and works well with Macs - plays iTunes vidpodcasts too. Dunno about paid iTunes vids... PSPware is a great Mac front end for syncing content with the PSP.

Does anyone know if this affects iTunes at all? Or is it simply re-organized on the PSP remotely?

Here's another app that does the same thing as PatioTunes and CoverBuddy: Dot-Tunes. http://www.dotpod.net/
I found this on www.macupdate.com
