But if there is any commandline app on linux talking bluetooth and someone just ports that to fremantle, then irreco can use that commandline app. Irreco has backend that can send commands to commandline.
Maybe someone else knows a bit more about bluetoothing.

(Sadly, IR beam is invisible to human eye, so no Star Wars battles with N900's)
BTW: Thanks for the great work you all did on Irreco - hopefully someone will be able to pick up after you leave.

Like said. No more features from current developers.
But if there is any commandline app on linux talking bluetooth and someone just ports that to fremantle, then irreco can use that commandline app. Irreco has backend that can send commands to commandline.

(I saw it in that video, so its in the n900 repos...)
And WHY is there a IR port on the N900 aside from using it as a remote control. Bluetooth and WiFi >>>> IR

I still haven't figured out why there's a cell phone.

First, I, for one, welcome our new n900 overlords.
Second, is the IR on the n900 consumer IR? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_IR ), what is the range? and is there also an IR receiver? Any remote app would need a learning function (assuming an IR receiver) so we can program our own remotes.

Cool shlt.

I'm amazed they added IR to this device. I used IR on PDAs 10 years ago, but it hardly seems necessary these days.

Do you know how strong the IR of the N900 is? I remember back during my Sony Clie days, the IR of specific models were so weak that it will only work at about 4 feet -- which made remote control apps unusable.
Also, any chance you can add bluetooth remote support for the PS3?
