OOooohh.. I'd love a Palm app that simply acts as a remote.
But I don't think that is possible for a stock player, as the IR frequency is different ("consumer IR" for the remote, "IRDA" for the Palm). While the empeg has hardware for both IR standards, it would require extra s/w on the player to receive/use IRDA. I'd still like it, though.. or does Palantir already do this nicely?
OmniRemote does this for you for $24.95 US. They basically control the IrDA port with hardware registers and the system clock as a timer to simulate consumer IR. I thought about doing this for my Palm, but the code has to be written for every hardware platform you wish to support.
I could make Empire/Palantir send remote codes, but the delay is slow with IrDA discover/etc. It would probably be just better to reverse engineer what OmniRemote does.
