AT&T is planning to integrate the iPhone into its U-verse suite of Internet television and VoIP services, according to a Reuters report. This will include adding features such as using the iPhone as a remote control.
At an event on Monday AT&T showcased recently developed technologies that will be marketed in the future.
We're looking at the whole landscape, of what people use, and what's out there in the home," said AT&T Chief Technology Officer John Donovan, indicating that some of the services may be launched by the years end.
Examples Services - Listen to voice mails on your screen - Download shows from your DVR onto your iPhone. - Use iPhone to navigate channels like a normal remote control - Virtually hurling tomatoes at the TV screen using iPhone applications.

Putting DVR'ed shows onto the iPhone is pretty freakin tight. The iPhone as a remote would be a neat trick, but not as useful. Either way, I'm glad to see AT&T is heading in the right direction
