Infrared

This may be a bonehead question, but what exactly can one do with the Infrared port on any PDA? I've always wondered, is it a remote connection to your PC? I'm totally new to this, so bear with me please. Thanx!

If you have a printer with IR you can just place the ax near the printer and choose a file and beam it to the printer.
If you have a laptop with IR you can send files to the laptop or to the ax.
that's what i can come up with right now.

If your computer doesn't have an IR port, you can purchase IR adaptor for your PC. Then you can use it to transfer files. I have a desktop without the IR capability, so I purchased an IR adaptor erally cheap maybe $20AUD (roughly $9US) and it's great. But yeah to transfer files from axim to PC, or from axim, to mobile.

And with the right software you can turn your Ax into a universal remote control too!
