iPad - control my life

So a couple of weeks in and the iPad is still my constant companion. I have a number of apps I use for work, a few games that keep me amused and some great apps that help me consume content at home, more about some of them later.
There is a glaring omission from the apple iPad and I haven't seen anyone mention it so far. The app I really really want is a supercharged iPad version of the apple remote app. To me it just seems like this thing is dying to be used to control all of my content consumption. I am one of the crazy few who actually bought an appleTV, a very basic piece of kit which became infinitely more worthy after the last OS update and which really became part of my living room when I became able to use my iPhone to control it.
What I want is to be able to browse and order content for the appleTV through the remote app on the ipad while watching a movie on it, this was never going to be an option on a tiny iPhone screen but with this beautiful 10" touchscreen I think it becomes a real option. This functionality could also be extended to controlling a mac mini media centre running iTunes or front row.
Please apple deliver on this for me.
