Please upvote if you guys would like KWGT and KLWP to have touch actions for the built in infrared transmitter of the phone (sure not all phones have one but many do). I personally would make a widget to remote control my TV but one might think of other uses as well.
It should be quite easy for the developer to expose the ConsumerIRManager API. I dont think any higher level stuff is needed, just the ability to send raw IR patterns with void transmit (int carrierFrequency, int[] pattern).
