Version 1.1 of Apple’s Remote for the iPod touch (and iPhone)… well, let’s see what the Apple copy says, shall we?

Edit playlists.
Now you can edit existing playlists in your iTunes library right from your iPod touch or iPhone. Change the song order with the drag of a finger or delete a song with a tap. It’s your music mixed the way you want it.

Which is nice. (I previously published a fairly rudimentary hack which let you sort of do the same last year, but it looks like the Apple version actually saves your changes back on the remote library. Presumably this is because they’re able to guarantee a single lock- Remote gets a different sort of connection to a vanilla DAAP share.)

While I’m on the subject, Remote Buddy lets you stream to an iPod from your main machine, like Simplify Media, although it does it all via HTML/AJAX rather than being a local app. Still, it’s running a separate app, which as I said before, I’d rather avoid.
