Peel seems to be becoming the standard; it seems that both Samsung and HTC are partnering with Peel for remote control apps on their new phones.

I've really gotta see what it would take to access the IR hardware on these Android phones; I think Pierogi could beat out Peel in several ways. (I'd love to see if Peel can handle stateful air conditioners. )
