I really want to use my iPaq to control things. I have all my toys in 
one large walk in cupboard with a TV in the living room and a 
projector in the "cinema room". The things that are stopping
me
are: 

Ideally I want a browser without any borders etc - so it looks 
like a full screen remote - anyone know of a PPC browser that
allows this?

I need either an Ocelot, HV or PC IR control system that can
allow for a flood emitters in the back room and either discreet IR
emitters for the projector, TV and PS2 (DVD control) or 2 more
floods for those rooms. I would look to use 802.11 to send the
command to a PC controller. - Any suggestions or comments
on which is best or easiest.
