Any way to remote control another iPhone/iTouch/iPod with my iPhone 4?

Question

Any way to remote control another iPhone/iTouch/iPod with my iPhone 4?

Since I upgraded my iPhone 3G to an iPhone 4, I'm thinking of just using my old iPhone 3G as a Mp3 player connected to my stereo.

However, I don't want to walk over to my iPhone 3G and fiddle with it if I want to start/stop/change the music.

What I really want is to be able to remotely control my iPhone 3G with my iPhone 4 in my comfortable chair without getting up !!!

Is that possible?

It's a good idea for an app if there isn't one already. Have you searched the app store?

I've looked but found nothing yet.

Perhaps something like a remoting app for iPhone - or something like.

All of those apps are for remote control of iTunes on your computer from an iPhone, not controlling one iPhone by another as the OP requested.

Yes, I do not want to control iTunes on my PC.

I want to control another iPhone.

Well, I'll give that app http://appshopper.com/music/tunes a try.

I hope it works when my old iPhone is connected to a dock (that's connected to my stereo)

around the house through wifi, like when i'm

I see you didn't even bother to look at the app description. Tunes does indeed. You install it on both, and one plays, the other controls.

I've got it on my iPad, iP4 and 3GS. Works great between them all.
