Introduction:

PalmRemote is the first ever Palm OS(R) software that imitates an infrared remote control using the built-in infrared port. 
PalmRemote features a macro function, which offers easy multiple step operations with just one touch.

System Requirements:

PalmIII/IIIx/IIIc/V/Vx/m100/m105/m500/m505
IBM WorkPad 8602-30/31/40/50/70
SONY PEG-S300/S500C/N700C/N710C
(The 2MB Upgrade kit is not supported.)

How does PalmRemote Compare to original manufacturer's remotes?

Computer style infrared (IrDA) ports have been designed to reduce interference for more reliable data transfer. 
To achieve this, the infrared beam has been designed to be very narrow (5 degrees). 
This means you will need to aim the IrDA port directly at the target device (TV, VCR, etc). 
The infrared beam has a reach of about 2 meters (6.6 feet) with good battery condition. 
Infrared beam power of SONY PEG(IrDA1.2) is weak and has a reach of about 1.5 meters (  4.9 feet ).
Distance and height are important in making this remote work. 
Vary the height, distance and angle to find what works for your environment.
