I use this for my new TV. it came with their old plastic one that used to ship with everything. i found myself out of ignorance thinking that one was fine. until i used this one at my cousins house i had no idea how substantially better this remote is. it is made of aluminum so it feels like i could run it over with my car and it would be fine. it is sturdy enough that i can hold it end to end and try my hardest to bend it and it doesn't. very well built. it has an additional button in the center for just general navigation. once using it i realize how much i needed that extra button. also it is the perfect length for the hand, unlike the previous plastic thing.
Overall it is a very good product and if you use your apple remote a lot then you should get one of these.

Cool Remote, Needs 3rd Party SW
This remote is a very cool device that I use everyday! With the help with some third party software (Sofa Control) it can also access many more functions and even act as a mouse...Read complete review

Bought this as a replacement for a lost Apple TV remote. As with all Apple products, it is well made and well packaged. When you take it out of the packaging, it is ready to use. What more do you need?

Comments about Apple Remote:
I bought the Apple Remote to work with my new 13.3" MacBook Pro, previous, Apple would give their customers a remote with each laptop. Now, if you want one, you will have to buy one. B&H, sales them for less than the apple store, the remote looks better than Apple's old ones and it is easy to use with the new laptops that are out at the moment. For the price you pay for Apples Laptops, they should include them with all of their units as they did before! If you are buy a new Apple Notebook computer, buying one is worth having with a new laptop computer.

Comments about Apple Remote:
I got this remote for controlling iTunes away from my desktop in my room. [...] was just as described. It does have a simple interface, which means limited functionality, but with the use of FrontRow on Macs, you can easily maneuver through a list of choices--from your movies folder, music, and others. The design itself matches nicely with the recent Mac computers.

The remote works just fine. No problems whatsoever. I'd buy it again if I lose this one.

Comments about Apple Remote:
I mostly use my Apple remote for volume and song control through iTunes instead of Apple TV or Front Row controls. The remote purchased was to replace my older remote which was the older design. I like the new design a lot. It is very sleek and light weight considering it's durable brushed aluminum case. I have no negative comments about the remote whatsoever.

the new state of the art iRemote by Apple lets you control the Apple TV device... and here's the best part... remotely! Completely wirelessly!
Everyone at the office is so amazed that we can control something from across the room we're barely getting stuff done!
Wow. Apple has changed everything. Again!
