No, not with this app. Maybe with a VNC type setup as a remote.

Maybe this is more like what you are searching for?

Video Demonstration

You can use it on a server within your network or a standalone XBMC media center. You have to use PHP 5.2, this because the XBMC HTTP API isn't safe to use outside your lan, this script is protecting the XBMC Database.

Goal:
To control your XBMC over the internet by PC, PPC, PDA and Smartphone.

This release will only give a smartphone interface that works on Opera 9.5, Safari and newer nokia devices. You can download opera 9.5 legally since it is in beta.

Version Info:
Version 0.3
New in this version is to control your XBMC like it is your XBMC (you will see the same on your mobile as you will see on your screen) and you can control it using your touchscreen!


Version 0.2
Support for Wake On Lan (XBMC Live and Windows)
Support for shutdown

Version 0.1
Initial release

It supports:
- Touch, unique feauture to control your XBMC with the touchscreen of your mobile
- Album art
- Season art
- Tv show art
- Artist art
- You can control more than one XBMC from the server (so if you have a media server, you can run it from there)
- shutdown by remote
- wake on lan
- see what's playing (screenshot)

What isn't finished:
- Auto select theme
- Playlist management (in audio => playlist)

Download
Have fun using it! (Don't forget to read the README.txt!)
I'm searching developers, to continue and speed up the development

How to read my readmy.txt
Before getting 300.000 replies on how to install Apache, please read the "readme.txt". Here is a HowToReadMyReadMeFile Tutorial:

1. Requirements
- What you need before you can unzip XBMC HTTP-R

You will see the following requirements:
- Webserver (apache)
- PHP 5.2
- GD Lib

2. Installation of Apache and PHP and GD Lib
- In this section you will install 3 of the 3 requirements before unzipping XBMC HTTP-R (you don't have to configure Apache or PHP, it's all done by XAMPP).

So we take the requirements and mark what is done:
- Webserver (apache) [done]
- PHP 5.2 [done]
- GD Lib [done]

Well... All the requirements are done, so lets continue:

3. Install XBMC HTTP-R

I guess this is the hardest part of it all... you will need to find your htdocs, which can be located everywhere, but probably will be in c:\Xampp ?\htdocs
or
c:\program files\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs
or even
c:\program files\xampp\

but Windows developed a tool for this, called "Search". It's a very powerfull tool which can find almost everything on your harddisk... So if you can't find any of the above folders, search by using "Search" in windows.

Then you will have to create a new folder, you can do this by clicking on your right mouse button and select: new -> folder. Now give it a name like "xbmc".

Last but not least you will have to extract the zip folder to the created folder... and check if http://localhost/ works.

thankyou santod. you have been very helpful to me. yeah i already found this one too. and beside from it being complicated(for me) it also needs a media server. so no its not exactly what i was looking for. i did find one cool app made by xbrunz http://blog.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=33021 check it out. its not very reliable though. freezes my phone alot of times and i loose connection alot(probably cuz of my crappy router or phone wifi)
