Come June, your iPod Touch and iPhone could double as a universal remote for your iTunes library. According to a TUAW tipster, new code found in the latest iPhone firmware release indicates that Apple is working on a new application called iControl that will let you connect wirelessly to local iTunes libraries and control videos, podcasts, music and even support shuffle playback. Of course, you can already do this with a number of third party applications, namely IOSpirit's AJAX-based Remote Buddy. But no one ever said Apple wouldn't be swiping some of the best third party developer ideas and making its own native versions.
Over the weekend, TUAW's Erica Sadun was provided with a screenshot that shows some of the localizable strings for this rumored iPhone-based application. A screenshot of the bundle (not the real application) can also be found on the iPhone.ru site.
