I am an extreme newbie to Android. I have a little bit of programming
experience in Java and C++ that is years old now rusty, so please bear
with me with this question.
I have been a Palm user for years, the main reason being because of
the IR port, which is necessary for my work.
1.) Is it possible to find an IR transmitter/receiver like the one in
a Palm Treo with a USB adapter?
(I am not sure the different frequencies of IR, but I do know
the one in the Palm's work)
2.) With the above IR/USB adapter plugged into an Android phone (I am
scheduled to get a MOTODROID when they come out) is it possible to
write and app that will receive and send information through the USB/
IR port at this point with Android?
In other words with an existing off the shelf USB/IR port does one
just program as if using the USB port, or is there anything special
because it is also an IR device?
The reason I ask, is in looking at the discussions here in the android
groups I saw a thread about using IR with Android, and the fact that
Android does not support IR as of yet, but I assume that this is
straight IR, not an IR plugged into an android device via USB
Thank you very much in advance to any light you can shed on this. I
apologize for this being what is probably a simply question.
