The beam needs to be on only for... beaming information. It's the infrared port on the device.

Well no...

From your other thread on the Touch forum I assume you have a Touch. The Sprint Touch does not have an IR port, the option is there because it is part of the OS as far as I know.

Also, turning off something like IR would have no effect on memory, only on battery life.
