TuneView features include:

- Color LCD screen and 10-button keypad
- TuneView USB transceiver plugs into USB port on a PC or Mac
- 2.4 Ghz RF connectivity between remote and transceiver
- RF signal works through walls and furniture up to 150 ft range

That's very nice, It would be great for a headless Mac Mini thats being used as a CD player. Shame about the price though.

I wouldn't mind having one, but I agree with JamesE on the pricing. It's too expensive. I would also like to see some Apple TV compatibility, even though it's probably not possible. I'm sort of growing tired of the Apple remote.

Buy a remote to control ONLY iTunes or buy a 19" widescreen display for around $150?

Hmm, I tend to agree. If it were programmable maybe so that it could control the rest of your equipment with IR or such. But I like the idea of sending back iTunes info to the remote.

My Mini media center is in our living room which is attached to the kitchen. Many times, my wife and I will be working in the kitchen and listening to iTunes with an internet radio station playing. A song will come on but we'll have to go to the living room to see what's playing. This remote could solve that.
