I simply adore iPeng. It is a great remote and I like the extensive list of possibilities while still keeping an intuitive interface. It is fairly easy to use – even without reading the help files. I will most probably buy an iPad when the second generation comes out and iPeng will be one of the

They are both terrific apps. I use both, probably lean more towards iPeng but that is only because I was using that on my iPhone long before squeeze pad was around. Buy both and decide for yourself. Let's face it they are not expensive. -- bigblackdog --

There is a thread here called SquuezePad vs. IPeng ( or vice versa, can't remember), that might give you some inspiration. Apart from that both Apps have a lot of 5stars ratings worldwide, so you won't find any flaws in them. They are different though, so in the end your taste and personal prefer
