How does PocketRemote 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 infrared sensor window of the device (TV, VCR, etc). 
The infrared beam has a reach of about 2 meters ( 6.6 feet ) with good battery condition. 
Distance and height are important in making this remote work. 
Vary the height, distance and angle to find what works best for your environment.

I thank Mr. Ari-p for his advice on E-500 CPU ability value.
Mr. Ari-p was the first to demonstrate that the IrDA transmitter could become a consumer remote with a MS-DOS application called RUNA (@Nifty IrDA Forum BBS in Japan).
If not for Mr. Ari-p's work, this software and other IrDA remote software which work on other Operating Systems would not be possible.
