The free GoFlex TV app will be available later this month.

LAS VEGAS--Some of you who own a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex TV media streamer may have noticed that the company has recently added Pandora to its channel lineup. Now the company says it will release a free iPhone app later this month that allows you to control the box with an iPhone or iPod Touch.

We reviewed the GoFlex TV earlier this ear and gave it pretty high marks. It's got some similar features to the Roku Player, with Netflix streaming capabilities, but, as its name implies, it's designed to play video files from a Seagate GoFlex drive that docks into a slot on the device.

Alas, the GoFlex TV doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi, but you'll still be able to control it via the iPhone app so long as it's connected to your home network and you have a wireless router set up.
