I would have guessed that bluetooth is the wave of the future for this sort of application, and BlueMaemo should already be able to turn the N900 into a portable keyboard, I think...

I hate the fact that the guys that invented bluetooth who works for SIG made it to be a replacement for PAN. When in reality it really is far from it. Bluetooth can still be sniffed out of the air where IR can't.
