For awhile now, I have been using the VLC Remote HTTP interface to control the VLC instance running on my laptop hooked up to a TV through my iPod Touch.  Now this is really cool, BUT the default (and apparently ONLY) interface for this is absolutely ugly.

During lunch today I took some time to draw up a mock UI for the interface for the iPhone/iPod Touch:

This will only support a subset of the features that the current VLC interface allows (as these are all I really need):

• Play/Pause
• Skip forward
• Skip backward
• Volume
• Full screen toggle

Native or Web App?  At first I am just going to whip up some new HTML files that will override the ones that come with VLC - but once I get my iPhone toolchain up and running on my new Leopard install I will shoot for a completely native app.
