It must have been lost somewhere in the specs, but the Nokia N900 actually does have an Infrared (IR) port. A programmable remote control app is coming to the N900 called Irreco, which will take advantage of the N900’s IR.
From the looks of it, you can program your own remote, customize the buttons layout, and download pre-programmed remotes and themes. If the N900’s IR is strong enough, this can eventually replace the $250 Logitech Harmony Universal Remote.
Any chance of adding bluetooth remote support for the PS3?
Check out the video demo of Irreco:

That should be doable at least with BlueMaemo, which I spotted in the video above while browsing the App Manager (I assume it would also run on the N900):

It’s a separate application, but should do the trick.
Ah, that is cool! Thanks for the link!
