Natan, You have a misconception. It doesn't matter what ports are available, IR, bluetooth, wifi, ... JAUS if setup to detect the model of the cell phone can determine what ports are available to configure. JAUS is independent of the types of ports available, it will configure on just about ANY communication media, even audio and video streams. Therefore it should configure for all the ports available on any cell phone model. Different ports are available on different phones, but JAUS recognizes them all.
IR is important to have in a cell phone to be able to communicate with TV, DVR, stereo, and other home appliances. If a cell phone does not have an IR port, it can not control appliances that rely upon IR remote controls. In that particular model of cell phone, JAUS would detect the port is not present and the configuration for controlling a TV would not be available to the user on the Android display (port not available). You might upload the driver for that particular TV and install that driver on your cell phone, but without the actual IR port in the cell phone, the driver just would not have an IR port with which to interact.
