IR HotSync operations

Your phone is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the
IrCOMM implementation of the standards for infrared communication
established by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that you
can beam data to any other device that supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the IrDA standards. Most importantly, you can use the
IR port to perform HotSync operations. When you use the IR port on your
phone to perform HotSync operations, you don’t need your HotSync
cable. You simply enable infrared communication on your computer and
your phone and then perform an IR HotSync operation. So there’s no
need to carry your cable when you’re on the road with an infrared-
enabled laptop.
