Second, is the IR on the n900 consumer IR? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_IR ), what is the range? and is there also an IR receiver? Any remote app would need a learning function (assuming an IR receiver) so we can program our own remotes.
Highly doubt it is proper "consumer IR", 99% sure it is IrDA. This means that it is send and receive, so it can probably "learn" as well. Just remember that IrDA was not supposed to behave this way (like consumer IR that is), so its really a hack. I had a program like this for my Palm T3, and used the IR to control a mindstorms robot. Cool shlt.
