★ Distant and Remote (26)
on Daring Fireball (1858) permalinkOne thing that stinks about Apple TV is the on-screen keyboard. You don’t need to type often, but when you do — like for searching YouTube, or entering a Wi-Fi password — you get a crummy on-screen keyboard (ABCDEF rather than QWERTY) that you have to navigate using the up/down/left/right buttons on the little remote. But it ends up Apple’s new Remote app for the iPhone solves this. Any time you need to type on ...Shared by Ben (772) bhr1 (21) billrod (31) Carl (85) Christian (42) chucksense (15) Clint Ecker (405) Cocoy (176) Dr. Ernie (124) Fuzzz (2) giginger (87) Guillermo Esteves (52) Isaac (50) IsaacMoore (29) James B (28) Jesper Pops (2) Jonathan (73) Josh Bancroft (121) kev (21) macgeekpro (140) Matthew Bischoff (83) Michael (151) mjzitek (25) nathos (47) Veken (23) Victor (30)
