Hmm, well with me part of the point for PDA would also be to use it on
the road, all sort of useful info easily accessible. And now that I
think of it, I could probably just use a web page as the RC software,
and a WLAN as the information path, instead of IR, plus it would work
anywhere in the apartment ;-) No pointing ever again... The link seems
to be to a commercial RC product, I'd guess there would be opensource
alternatives, since in most software categories opensource is better
now-a-days.
Sorry about the WAF :-| but you should always make them see why it's
good for them, make them ask for it ;-) Don't pitch it as your own idea,
set the seed in their mind and steer them in the right direction, so
they ask for a hyper-super-duper hometheater with all the good stuff...
Does anybody have actual experience using PDA's as an RC ? As an idea it
sounds great, but how does it work in practice ?
