You are still missing the entire point. Last fall, shortly after the release of iTunes 4.6, Keyspan released a remote specifically made for AirTunes. Unless you went through some weird timewarp, it makes zero sense that a remote from 1999 (which is 7 years how?) would have supported iTunes, let alone AirTunes, from the start. Whether it supports it through some firmware update simply doesn't matter at all in this discussion.
This feature, the DACP (digital audio control protocol), has been introduced in iTunes 4.6, not 4.8. 4.8 merely changed the dialog box slightly to conform to Aqua HIGs better. There is no indication whatsoever that Apple will introduce a remote soon.

If bose can make a remote control with song lists in it, so can Apple.

With this being RF, it would work anywhere around the house.
