Remote for IR?

[neosynthesis]

Hi there. Does anyone know of a good remote that can make use of the IR on my T41? Mainly controlling dvd playback via WinMedia player or Real player.

TIA!

Hate to dissapoint you, but the IR transmitters that are typically used for remote controls are not compatible with those used on laptops/PDAs/cellphones. There are 'dual-use' transmitters availlable on some PDAs, but I'd venture to predict that the T41 doesn't have one of those.

Maybe a RC mouse or pointer can fit your bill.
