Remember Psiloc’s irRemote from the days of Series60 2nd edition? Well, it has been finally ported to work with the latest Nokia and other S60 3rd edition based smartphones.

irRemote for S60 3rd edition released

By now you probably understood how the application works. By using the infrared port (unfortunately the Nokia N82 lacks one), it turns your smartphone into a universal remote control. Supported devices include TV and audio systems, air condition, tuner, SAT, VCR — plus you can always extend the list by uploading codes for them through the provided online wizard.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long. Hopefully, irRemote will make Nokia and other Symbian S60 licensees think where to place infrared ports on their devices. No I don’t want it on the side! ;)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    well,i wouldn’t mind the IR position that much, but it would be cool if the LED power could be boosted by SW, so that the actual range could be extended to more than about 2 meters like it is now with my N95-1.. ;-)
