"FYI : Infrared is used in almost every hardware device found in the consumer electronics sector. From remote controls to sensing movements to security systems to thermal iamging/sensing too."

There is a difference between IrDA and the applications i have highlighted in bold red that you quoted.
I remember talking about IrDA and not infrared.

It is very difficult to enjoy a discussion with all this skewed (and incorrect) info being posted. 
That's why i see little benefit in discussing any further.

BUT..here is the deal. How well do you know IrDA? If you describe it in detail plus ITS CURRENT & PREVIOUS USES (WITHOUT SKEWED OR INCORRECT INFO) then i will be obliged to do the same for BLUE TOOTH.

PS. kindly do not extrapolate. Describe it for what it really is.

@James, Hahaha...That is really funny re: the short story of Old engineer/new engineer.  :-)))

FYI : Infrared is used in almost every hardware device found in the consumer electronics sector. From remote controls to sensing movements to security systems to thermal iamging/sensing too. But you wrote on another thread that this technology is really out dated and old school and you believe Bluetooth is the way forward. Infact you are developing on bluetooth stack.
 
So go on, don't correct my postings, just do your thing and enlighten the tech list further. I'm keen to know besides phone handsets, a few gps devices and possibly only MAC that use bluetooth for keyboard/mouse functions, what other applications is Bluetooth into?
 
And please try and avoid referring me to google, it gets really boring. Its nice to be able to engage in discussion with fellow technologists.
 
Rgds.
