"...wondering if an externally attached IR device could be purchased and then using the OpenMobile interface..."

I always think about the quote "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection" whenever I have two things that can't talk to each other.

That applies to hardware and software. Like a translator at the U.N., anything from a serial break-out box to a data format conversion routine can add that level of indirection.
