[From: Jon Smirl]

If only the N800 had IR support then it could be used to go after the
high end remote control market. Maybe we'll get it in the next model.

There were at least five devices like this at CES this year.

They are remote controls in the $1,000 to $1,500 range for high end AV
installations.

N800 has everything necessary except for the IR support. I could
easily see these vendors OEMing the N800 instead of building their
own.
