You need a TV to do all the initial set up and maintanence stuff like checking if you have the latest updates.
The Touch/iPhone remote is great for selecting music. I haven't tried it, but I think you can add to an "on the go" playlist from it.
Haven't heard of another remote app.
One of my main complaints is the whole standby issue. Appearently,standby only turns off the video outputsand nothing else. For some reason unbeknownced to me, mine keeps coming out of standby mode. After I put it in standby, it'll be back into regular mode within a few hours.
I still like it way too much to care about the very minor hang ups.
