Tunes Report: Android DACP/iTunes Remote Control
The Digital Audio Control Protocol (DACP) was recently introduced by Apple, and is built into all recent iTunes™ versions. DACP is the protocol used by the Remote app on the iPhone/iPod Touch to remote control your desktop or laptop iTunes player.
DACP is similar to the well-known DAAP, using Bonjour MDNS to find libraries, then using HTTP requests with binary responses to transfer data. After a few days in front of packet dumps, I have most of DACP decoded.
With the protocol now reverse engineered, Jeffery Sharkey wrote an Android client in about a week. Now you can remote control your iTunes from your new Android phone when it arrives later this year. This works out of the box without installing any extra software on your PC or Mac.

Thanks for the heads up, just go this app and love it! Btw, not sureif you’ve figured this out already but you know the volume control on the side of your G1? You can control the volume from the iTunes on your G1, tada.
Just thought I point this out if you haven’t tested it yet
