According to MacRumors, Apple has released the pre-release version of iTunes 7.7 to developers earlier tonight, and the Read Me in the installer hints that they may be offering a free iPhone/iPod touch application for using the device as a remote control for iTunes. As of yet, no such application had been officially announced.

Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home -- a free download from the App Store.

That's awesome! There already are several existing apps to do this either via jailbreak or software clients. They do work however they perform pretty spotty at times. I can't wait for an Apple designed native app to do this! It would certainly be cool if it worked with Front Row as well.
