It seems to me that having read the article, that the whole process could be made easier if some enterprising person was to do all the hard work. This is obviously the same with any task, but hear me out.

If someone, or a group of people, were to do the difficult bit and record infrared signatures from a bunch of common remotes for tvs or stereos then that takes the most difficult part of this project from the average reader. I haven't got a pocket pc or anything like it, but I'd still like to use the iPod as a remote. As an average computer user, I'd be quite happy to buy the infrared device and be able to use it, but i would have problems with the recording of signals. If a database of infrared remote control signals was put online, I'd be more than happy to download and use them.
