I thought there were loads out there.
Although the killing-off of IRDA on phones
will put pay to them eventually.

And the iPhone's iTunes controller is meant to be quite fun.

Google it. I'm sure there were a few Symbian
IR remote controller apps for Knokias.

All the high-end SonyEricssons have Windows
controllers over bluetooth. Good if you need
a remote for PowerPoint presentations.
