I wanted to somehow make use of the N900's IR port. The irreco UI is still cruelsome and unusable. Now, RæMote is out, trying to be better:

Currently, only the Apple Remote is supported, but the code is ready for additional remotes. All that's needed is an image file, a list of rectangles for "hotspots" and highlight images for each button. The files required for the Apple Remote are in /opt/raemote/apple/. If anyone is interested in creating additional remotes, I can give some details on how to do this.
