The IR device on the N900 is just a transmitter, not a receiver. It's been previously reported that because of this, the N900 is not IR file transfer (IrDA) compliant.

With just a transmitter, and no ability to take input it only really good for IR based remote control applications.

My 6103 had IrDA. Used to send files back and forth with my son.

this isnt infrared for sending/receiving files
this is the infra red based on the tv remote control
it cant send/receive data
i cant send data either to be exact
it sends little bits or to be exact, programmable commands for other devices that use an IR remote like tv..
did you understand what i said?

N900 has much more TX capability.

There is no receiver led in the N900. So even if the chipset would support it, an additional led would have to be soldered on the bord.
If it can receive is it possible to configure it to act as an IR thermometer?
I've dropped this question into Brainstorming. I've not seen where this has been addressed elsewhere on the site. If it has, moving this post to the appropriate thread would be fine.
