The previous version of the remote was very limited with the iPhone. How is this remote different in functionality compared to the previous version?
The previous remote did not allow for menu navigation nor selection through the media categories. I am wondering if this new remote will allow navigation specific to the iPhone or if it is still just a play, pause, forward, backward, volume up and down remote.

Answer
The update to the Apple Remote is purely cosmetic and in terms of functionality it is in no way superior to the older Apple Remote.

Answer
No. I, too, have the Belkin Power Dock. If you read the Apple ad closely, you'll notice that it says that the only dock it will work on is the iPod Universal Dock.

Answer
From the item description:
"Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver."
So it will work on the MacBook Pro but not the Mac Pro (since it doesn't have an IR receiver) without an external USB IR receiver- Answered by Daniel E from Edinburgh
