I don't know how accessible it is, but TiVo already has an iPhone app. I haven't used it much yet, but it seems to be accessible so far. How would this app compare to what TiVo already has? I've also seen apps for home theater systems from Yamaha, Pioneer, Denon and Onkyo. Again, I don't know how accessible these apps are. These apps all talk to network capable devices over the local network. I'm all for this effort. I just wonder how it compares to what's already available.
