It was once bundled with a variety of Mac models but is now an optional accessory to the iPhone. This is of course the Apple Remote Control, providing iPhone owners the remote capabilities to control a broader variety of applications.

Rowmote is an iPhone/iPod touch application that mimics the operation of the Apple Remote, complete with Plus, Minus, Back, Forward, Play/Pause, and Menu buttons. It works in tandem with the free , which you install on your Mac. Once that application is installed it’s automatically added to your account’s list of login applications so that it’s ready to do your iPhone or iPod touch’s bidding even after you’ve restarted your Mac.

What makes Rowmote particularly special–other than that you don’t need line-of-sight access or you computer because it works over Wi-Fi–is that it supports far more applications than Apple’s hardware Remote Control. The list of supported applications includes Front Row, Boxee, DVD Player, EyeTV, Finder, iTunes, iTunes Visualizer, iPhoto, Keynote, PowerPoint, QuickTime, Plex, Skim, Spotify, VLC, Airfoil Video Player, PandoraJam, XBMC, and Last.fm.

You choose an application by tapping an Applications button at the bottom of the screen. A Settings button to the left of that Applications button lets you choose the computer you want to control.
