RE: Yay?
Pretty interesting....
I have one question. How long will it take for BlueFish to put a decent number of these around the country?
Access the Net Via Infrared and Bluefish
The time has come...
And if you DO leave home, you can't leave without your trusty ol' Palm/Handspring/Sony/HandEra/Acer(??)!
Wow! Way cool... I feel like we're in some science-fiction movie.

This looks like competition to bluetooth
It will also be sweet to get up to date info from ports around the country.
This is just the beginning on where our palms our going

Perfect Combo
I think the killer use here is putting a box right inside the entrance of Tower Records (or Barnes & Noble, or Safeway, or Bloomingdales) and downloading a store map, directory, reviews, specials, and so on. It's a perfect combination of what we like about on-line shopping (easy comparisons, access to extensive background info, quick movement from one product to another) and what we like about shopping in stores (tactile and visual feedback, chance of seeing something unexpected, social atmosphere).
I can really see that kind of thing being very useful in a lot of places.
RE: Perfect Combo
I can also see a big market for "coming events" at large venues. Go to a concert and the civic center has an IR station where you can automatically get a coming attractions calander. You might even be able to learn about events without relying on ticketmaster.

Sounds Great - But...
Singapore's Changi Airport had a similar infra-red access system operating late last year where commuters could access e-mail and internet for free - great system!

Yay?
This sounds pretty interesting, combine this with a way to connect your bankaccount or credit card to it, and you have a way to purchase stuff instantly. I'd love to be able to get soda from a vending machine through my handheld. Put one of these EVERYWHERE and you'll make me a happy camper.
