Boxee remote app for iPhone and iPod Touch available on App Store

We've made no secret of our love for the Boxee media center. Its lovable interface works great from 2ft. to 20ft. and covers just about everything an HTPC should on both the Apple TV and Mac mini. Now, after weeks of being in review, the folks over at the Boxee blog have finally announced the availability of the Boxee remote app (iTunes link). It's extremely affordable for everything it does (it's Free) and is available immediately. If you've lost your Apple remote, or for whatever reason don't have (or want) one, Boxee's remote app is a pure gem. Check it out now and then give Boxee some suggestions on how they can improve it.

i love boxee so much and didn't want to jailbreak my phone just so I could run cydia

I'm glad it's finally out in the app store...the gesture controls are pretty impressive

Tried Boxee and Plex. Definitely prefer Plex. Boxee needs a lot more refinement.

I like Boxee and Plex but my big issue with Boxee is that it doesn't index all of my music. (and it takes FOREVER with a large library 15k+).

The comments thus far have been pretty nit-picky and demanding. Boxee is an excellent program if you've got a spare mac hooked up to an HDTV. It's got a larger following than Plex, and thus a few more plug-ins and community functions. This remote is FREE, and the gesture mode is almost too futuristic.

It seems like Rowmote. I think other apps are better, maybe "Do It!", is hard to find and its cost is 3,99 $ but itÂ´s a great app and it include gestures too.

Ok, so what differentiates this remote from the XBMC remote and what benefits does Boxee have from Plex? A little more info to make this juicier than a press release for the remote would be nice.
