- Apple Remote with iPod and iPhone: If you connect your device to the Universal Dock or a compatible home stereo, powered speakers, or TV set with an IR port, the remote lets you experience your songs, slideshows and more from across the room.
- Apple Remote with Mac: Control audio volume, play, pause, and control music and videos, or even put your Mac to sleep from anywhere in the room.
- The Apple Remote gives you total command of your Mac's music, photos, videos and DVDs via FrontRow—a menu-based, full-screen interface—to make accessing the digital content on your Mac simple.
- Mac compatibility: The Apple Remote requires a Mac with an IR port (most Macs made after 2005). FrontRow control does not work with Mac OS X Lion or later.

I ordered this to use with my Apple TV because my toddler slobbered all over our other one. The new remote came on time, was new in the package, and worked seamlessly without any annoying programming like most remotes require.
Seriously:
Step one- Open package
Step two- Point at Apple TV and use it
Step three- Spend an hour adding stuff you'll never watch to your Netflix Que

The remote is beautiful in every respect except usage. Pressing buttons is hard because of the lack of tactile differentiation. The directional buttons are completely flat and they are easy to miss. For example, when trying to press the up button, you might find yourself hitting the aluminum casing instead.
That's unacceptable. There is no reason Apple can't make a remote that's tactile enough to easily differentiate among keys and easily press without looking. Actually they did, the old white Apple remote works perfectly in this regard.
Pros:
* Aluminum enclosure is beautiful.
* Very thin which is practical if you carry it with your laptop for presentations etc.
* Dedicated Play button is a plus.
Cons
* Buttons are flat and lack tactile differentiation.
* May require looking at the remote to see where you are pressing (which is a distraction if you use it for presentations).
* IR range is good but not as good as old white Apple remote.
I really wanted to like this remote and replace my older apple remotes, but the lack of tactile differentiation has forced me to switch back.
UPDATE (11-4-10):
There is a new aluminum remote that comes with the Apple TV 2 which features a minor redesign. The directional buttons now have some tactile differentiation, they are no longer flat which is a significant benefit over the old design. I would recommend it to anyone looking at this remote.

I own an Apple TV and a couple of months ago, I misplaced the remote that came with it. I made do without it for a while by using the remote app on my iPhone, but I finally caved and just bought a new remote. I prefer it to using the iPhone app. This remote is sleek and small and simple. It was very easy to pair the new remote with my Apple TV. It works beautifully and it is exactly the same remote that I originally had. And it was cheaper from Amazon than Apple.

Useful.
My Remote was lost during a move and was bereft until I was able to get a replacement. The item arrived on time, and I've been streaming video happily ever since.
