How to turn your iPod into an infrared remote

Engadget has posted an interesting how-to on turning your iPod into an infrared remote control for your TV, DVD player, stereo, etc. Using Griffin’s Total Remote Software and IR device for Pocket PCs you can transfer the same technology used in the Total Remote to the iPod. You might remember that Griffin had originaly planned a remote device for iPod called the PodMate, but development was canceled before going to market.
