    Does anyone know of a way to control TV's through the infra red on mobile phones, saw it on a nokia ages ago... would love to get it working on a samsung or siemens... would some sort of java applet work?

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't think it will work because the ir circuit included on the mobile phones is too limited. that's what I experienced on a smartphone anyway.

    Dont think you will succeed. As far as I know there are two main lstandards of IR. The one used in phones/PDAs is just much weaker than that use in TV remotes etc. With the right software you might get it working but only within a very close range of the reveiver - I think 1m or less.
