[Request] [Jolla Tablet] Consumer Infrared Port [answered]

+1 This would be awsome replacement for my old Logitech universal remote.

This is absolutely "must have" feature for tablets, but why not for phones* too. Maybe even Jollas own remotecontrol app too, so that functionality would work out of box..

• I think IR TOH would be great addon for Jolla Phone. By giving us IR TOH also, it would also make better sence make that own remote controller app..

I've been hoping for an IR TOH for a while; I even started porting my Pierogi app to Sailfish expecting that it would eventually be there. But it's never happened (nor has the phone ever made it to the US), so I kind of gave up on it.

I'd love to see a Jolla remote control app, but I wouldn't mind if they just pulled the same stunt Nokia did with the N900 -- silently add an IR port to it, but with no software support at all. I think it makes sense to shove as much hardware onto the device as you can, even if you can't afford to create software to support it; the apps will eventually be created by someone... :)

Exactly, software can be added later, hardware not! Sitting on the coach in style swiping away on your Jolla tablet and alternatively having to hassle with x ugly black, utterly confusing "my standard is the standard" Japanese (?) remotes is like wearing a tuxedo vest on top of your pyjama trousers.

I think an infrared port would definitely make a lot sense, because a tablet is quite often used for surfing on the couch. So it would be self-evident to use the same device for surfing an cotrolling all the multimedia devices in your room.
