Oddly the N900 was blessed with a IR TX but no RX.

There is no hardware in the device capable to recieve IR, good enough to compile data; even the camera.
Before Bluetooth was popular, phones where provided with a transceiver, to send and recieve.

The easiest way to record IR can be found at lirc.org

I am currently looking for a infrared transceiver module for my new desktop I am building. My mobo has a IR Header but I can't seem to find anything over here. Any ideas anyone?

Do we think we'll see P1.1.4 move up to Testing soon?
That way the Requested Keysets from 1.1.0 to 1.1.4 are one step closer to Extras.
