macbook IR?

[sikkinixx]

my dad is giving me his old PDA since he just got a Treo with work but it lacks Bluetooth which kinda sucks. I can link to to my pc/Macbook with USB but wireless is always nice. He says he uses the IR on his Thinkpad to transfer stuff and i was wondering if the Remote IR on the macbook can do the same?

As far as I know, the IR thingy is receiving only on all the recent Macs.
So, no dice...
