it is, infrared=infrared. heat seekers are in the same frequency.

whether or not the N900 can recieve data seems to be unknown - i'm yet to see anyone with knowledge make a case either way. personally i think it can but there is no driver for it.

if the N900 ir sensor can detect ir iinput it can not be used to measure heat like an ir themometer - thats a different kind of sensor. theory is good though.
