WWWinamp iPhone Compatible Skin — COMING SOON!
1 February 2008
Ever since the Apple iPhone was released last year, I was blown away by the multimedia and browser capabilities of it. I started wondering from the get-go about the actual usefulness of a software development kit that only allowed for development of applications in a mobile browser.
It was then announced that the official iPhone SDK which runs natively on the iPhone will be released later this month. So soon you’ll have a host of local applications which will most likely include 3rd party media players. It then dawned on me, if a user could use WWWinamp from the iPhone with an interface that interacted nicely on the iPhone, then someone’s iPhone could act as a remote control from ANYWHERE allowing them access to their home media library.
Well, this is just a heads up that I’m currently working on a skin for WWWinamp that will let it work on the iPhone (better)! Soon you all will be able to control your media center or home copy of WWWinamp from anywhere using your Apple iPhone!
I’m still working on the organizing the data on the screen in a manner that makes sense and is easy to use. All the functionality that comes with the default skin will be included in the iPhone version, including cover art and all the Winamp Playlist functions.
It’s actually pretty sweet controlling Winamp from an Apple iPhone and I hope I can polish this up and put out a beta version this weekend. 
I’m still trying to fish up some resources on the WebKit API and the WebKit specific tags to make things integrate nicely.
Keep your browsers posted here for updates in the coming days!

Great news! Looking forward to this addition. I am currently using my ipod touch to remote control my media server via wifi. works fine, but a dedicated iphone skin is even better
The guys of alloysoft.com have a very nice skin in Signal 1.0.4 - it has a very iphoney feel to it
