Whither IRDA

[davebo]

I can't see it in the specs or make out from the pictures, but it looks like the Tytn II/Kaiser (Stellar) doesn't have infra red.

Anyone confirm that ?

Thanks, DBo.

Yes it's true, any version of the Tytn 2 does not have an IRDA port, shame as it would have been great to use as a remote control.

I have a dive computer that has an IRDA interface. It means I can view dive info straight away after surfacing. That means 'taking two devices into the shower' now.

BTW, The O2 site definitely lists the Stellar as having IRDA, although the PDF manual doesn't.

Dispite what you may have read anywhere else, no version of the TyTN II has IrDA. Last year, HTC announced a new policy of eliminating IrDA from all of their products. I can understand their reasoning, the TyTN II has Bluetooth, which has pretty much replaced IrDA has the low power data transfer protocol. Only legacy devices still use IrDA. And don't shed to many tears for not being able to use the TyTN II as a remote, as IrDA ports are poorly adapted to sending remote control signals, and usually have a range of only 4-5 feet.
