Remote control Apple TV from iPhone/iPodTouch

Does anyone know of (or is any App developer working on) a fully-functioning Remote Control for Apple TV via the wi-fi connection on an iPhone/iPodTouch?

Apple's "Remote" App does this...but, it seems, only for the iTunes library...NOT for the host of other capabilities of Apple TV.

Rowmote / Rowmote Pro does exactly what I need...but requires Jail Breaking Apple TV.

It seems like such a natural...fully-functioning remote control of Apple TV via the wi-fo connection on an iPhone/iPodTouch. Is there an App for that? If not, why not?

Thanks...Chris,

I use remote app just fine with my appletv

works even better then it does with itunes lib Imho

makes searching with youtube and podcasts much easier on the appletv

also tasks typing in passwords is easier

not sure what troubles or lack of feature you expiernce when trying to use remote app

but for me I mean I never use the remote the appletv comes with any more

because remote app does a better job
