Can I control my Apple TV using the iPad?

One of the more appealing uses of the iPad is as a home theatre control center, using the iPad to control playback of music and video on devices around your home other than the iPad itself.

Despite the fact that the iPhone can already do this via the Remote application, many users are unaware of this fact and have found themselves wondering if the iPad will be able to do the same thing.

By simply installing the Remote application on your iPad, and completing the setup process, you can control either your Apple TV or your iTunes on your computer using the iPad.
