so i was looking around the forum and i found this program. http://www.novii.tv/ - is this possible to get to work with the touch.. it says it needs to use IR .. but does out touch have IR? looks like a cool app if it can work

The touch does not have IR.

If it did work, it would most likely be as practical as it is on every other windows pda ever made. But it doesn't work. Bluetooth and IR are two completely different things at the hardware level. No similarity whatsoever.

the only one I found that worked used an IR dongle that plugged into the headphone jack. this article in engaget describes it. but it requires the use of a standard headphone plug.
