My X5 has successfully beamed data to Palm handhelds, my Nokia 6200 cell phone, synched via IR with several IBM ThinkPad notebook PCs, and generally anything I tried. I don't try to use it as a universal remote, however. I have enough of those around as it is.

If you have the correct piece of software (and the correct codes for the appliances involved), it should work as a remote, but it seems a silly use for a PDA.

I think that's because it takes too long to be carried out. Bring back cruel and unusual punishment!
