About
XBMC Commander is a remote control for the iPad especially designed to interact with XBMC, one of the most advanced open source media centers out there.There are two versions of the app available in iTunes, a full version that will run both on iPad and iPhone, and an iPhone-only edition, which is missing all the iPad specfic stuff (but acts exactly as the big brother on the iPhone)
Requirements
Needles to say, XBMC Commander requires a computer with XBMC installed on it.If you want to get the most out of the app, make sure to run the latest version of XBMC aka "Eden".
While versions 10 aka "Dharma" work fine, any older version aren't supported.
XBMC Commander will run on your iPad, as well as on your iPhone or iPod.
Please note that there's also an iPhone only "light" version in the iTunes store.
