Google TV Remote iOS Google has recently released its Google TV remote app for iOS devices. The app which was previously only available on Android devices can now work on your Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad (iOS 3.0 and above). With the app, folks can switch channels, program their DVR, control the mouse pointer with the phone’s touch screen and more. Though it’s questionable that why would anyone with an iPhone own a Google TV since the Apple TV has more compatibility with iOS devices, it’s good to know that Google isn’t leaving anyone out. Head over to the Apple App Store to download the Google TV Remote app for free now.

Google Google is an Internet Search company with profits mainly derived from its AdWords advertising program. Google is also known for other high-profile web-related products such as Chrome, GMail, Google Docs or Google Map, and it has also made a very successful entry into the mobile handset market with its Android mobile operating system. The company was created in 1998 and went public in 2004. Google is one of the most visited site in the world.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
