http://lirc.org/ would be a good start. It already handles about any remote control types. For file exchanges and other unusual things, then a dedicated third party app would be acceptable, and in no way should delay the release.

There maybe are things to leverage from the N900 which had such an IR port it seems (I don't own one), like this : http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37655
but looking at this thread it looks like even the N900 doesn't have irDA, so no file exchange possible : http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44217

Chen, not that it matters to me, but are you preparing IR for use as a remote, or with irDA to allow higher level protocols like file transfers (which I never seen on any electronic device I own...) ? And would it be bi-directional (to allow recording ?) ?

Also, and maybe more importantly, what resources do you have for software development ? I understand that Sailfish would be sub-contracted to Jolla, but if you are to release also a basic AOSP version, by who would it be done ?

Are you guys seriously asking for file transfer via IR? At this rate, how many other people do you think that you will ever see with this device in real life?

It would be nice to transfer between this and N900...although the latter only has trasmission, not reception. Back to the drawing board...

Uh, you could also use bluetooth or wifi, which are both faster...by a lot..

Wicked. Definitely interested in following the development efforts, is there a thread for that & general discussion?
not yet, no. I'll start one when it gets to that point.

Please don't mistake people asking Chen what is plans are, with expecting him to change his plans...

It's called "thinking outside of the box".

But what if, uhh...someone is jamming the wifi! Or we're in an environment where radios are required to be turned off. Maybe? I'm sure there must be some conceivable reason for it.

I'm not disregarding your comment; however this is a well traveled and previously failed "box". IR support was great before Bluetooth and NFC. I mean, hell... let's put tubes inside of it while we're at it. Those were great!

No. Not really.
Therw was some gigabit IR tech talk a few years back but I'm not sure that it got somewhere. But good ol' IR is useless for data transfer for the last 15 or so years.
Unless you like to torture yourself and still use 33.6k dial up modem.
