These remotes seem to be using bluetooth to communicate with the PC and it's probably some proprietary language. It would be great to be able to use bluetooth to get the data, kinda like the web interface but via bluetooth though perhaps using some standard language so that others can develop remote apps maybe palm os or the such.
