Using wireless radio frequency technology, the TuneCommand Remote works from up to 150 feet away, regardless of barriers such as walls, ceilings, or windows that limit traditional remotes. It allows for control of your iPod to remain with you, even if your iPod is stashed in your glove compartment, backpack, or your home entertainment center. TuneCommand fits the 3G, 4G, photo, and mini iPod. It will begin shipping in North America, August 2005.

When used with the iPod photo, TuneCommand lets you scroll through your slide shows or presentations–wirelessly.
