Very nice! I've gotta admit, in these days of disposable cell phones, promoting the idea of hardware that can be supported years into the future is, for me at least, very compelling. There's gotta be some fairly decent sized group of consumers who are tired of throwing their phone away and starting over again every year or two.

Hey, on the IrDA, do you have a specific hardware module in mind? (I wanted to do a little research and see what it would take to write software for it.)

Also, it might be better to describe the Consumer IR capability as a "learning remote" rather than "two-way", as pretty much no CIR devices support actual two-way communication. (Although there's no reason two Neo900s couldn't use it to communicate with each other...) Are you planning on having a separate CIR receiver, or trying to use the IrDA to receive CIR signals? Thanks!
