Rowmote: control your Mac or AppleTV from your iPhone
There are a few different iPhone-based options to remotely control your Mac, but Rowmote might be the most complete. Instead of just controlling your media via Front Row, it can actually switch applications on your Mac. The list of apps you can use from Rowmote is impressive, including everything from PowerPoint to VLC to PandoraJam, and it also works with AppleTV. For 99 cents, that's not too shabby. Rowmote also has some features that greatly improve the user experience. You can set it to keep your Mac's display from sleeping, which is handy when you're watching a movie, and you can also choose between light and dark interfaces, so you don't hurt your eyes if you're using it in the dark. All in all, it might be the best iPhone-to-Mac remote solution I've run across.

I've had this since day 1 when it came out, and evan's improvements over the last 7 iterations have been mind-blowing for $1... Best app I downloaded from the app store by far (I use it to control VLC mostly).

I have nothing but good things to say about Rowmote. I've had it since 1.1, and I've loved it ever since. The new dark skin makes it even easier to use without changing the brightness. Glad to see it's getting coverage.

I'd take a look at remotejr.com while you're at it... it has a remote view of your desktop (landscape mode) which to me is an essential part of the whole 'remote'-thing. Plus it emulates the functionality of the Apple Remote in portrait mode. I've had Remote Jr since it's first version and I love it - it's so much more than just an iPhone-couch-remote ;)
