New features linked with desktop iTunes
Apple has posted Remote 2.1, a critical update to the official iOS app used to control iTunes or an Apple TV. The primary addition is support for AirPlay video, giving people the ability to direct content from a computer with iTunes to an Apple TV. Likewise, users can now control playback of rented movies and TV shows within iTunes on its own.
Some other changes include the ability to control Internet radio on a computer, and bugfixes directed at stability, connection and performance problems. The app is a free download, and requires only iOS 3.1.2 or better. All iPad, iPhone and iPod touch models should be compatible.

Seriously? Critical? I didn't realize these new features were so important that they would be deemed 'critical'.
