My guess is something like girder would hit the spot for use of a web
interface to control IR devices.

I sent my 770 back after a few days, nothing really against the unit
but for its primary purpose for me which was sat nav it wasn't great,
software was very slow and inaccurate.  Certainly nothing like the
ease and accuracy of tom tom i've grown used to.

web browsing was ok, a little slow but worked well enough, think mine
was fauly as when screen dimmed it flickered which others I know with
it don't suffer from, was fine when lit up which it always is when
using, just something that bugged me!

worked pretty well with slimserver tho, good luck :)
