What is the infrared receiver on the bottom left front of T43 for?

Some mobile phones used to connect using IR. You can connect two Thinkpads via IR.
Er, that's about it. :)

Every Treo up through the 750/755 has IR on it. I'm assuming the Centro does as well. Perfect for when you want to sync your phone, don't have a USB cable or Bluetooth, but do have way too much time on your hands :mrgreen:

Rather slowly is an understatement, heh. It does get the job done in a pinch though.
Cell phones are my specialty. Got questions? Ask away.

I can easily print to my HP Laserjet 5P with IR, kind of handy.
