Engadget has a feature on how to turn your iPod into a Universal Remote Control. To get this to work, they needed a Pocket PC with specialized software to record the IR signals that are outputted by your remotes. The signals are then converted into music (wav files), installed on the iPod, and then played through a special music-to-IR jack. Real simple, huh?
The strangely talented find ways to use devices outside of their intended application. And with the forthcoming age of household robotics, more hacks like this iPod Remote Control will appear.
