So I have access to one of those fancy iPod docks with the video out and IR reciever, so I thought I would see what functionality, if any, I could coax out of my iPhone.

Unfortunately I don't have any video on my phone at the moment, so I can't really test the video out, but I do know some things. Currently you can do the following:

1. The docks works fine for charging and syncing the iPhone.
2. The line out for audio seems to work fine as well.
3. The apple remote works for some things with the phone. For instance you can:
• Increase and decrease the volume of the ringer (when not playing music), or the audio (when listening to music)
• You can skip between songs while the phone is locked and charging, which is one of the cooler features in my mind.

Things that you currently cannot do:

1. Scroll lists on the phone. Case in point, the listing of music on your phone.
2. Navigate back and forth between views when the phone is unlocked (like drill down/up in your playlists).

I am really hoping that future updates to the iPhone software improve the interaction between the iPhone and an iPod dock with remote. One good bit of news is that I can rig up something for the iPhone in my car, and use an apple remote to interact with my music. Not having to take you eyes off the road++.
