Would be great to be able to connect my ipad to a tv or projector and be able to control what content is being played as well as standard remote functions from my iphone.

I believe you can do this with apple tv and AirPlay.

This would definitely be a useful feature. Have my iPad 2 hooked up to our upstairs television. It would be great to be able to control plex from my phone without having to walk up to the ipad.
