Divemate has an IR mobile phone dongle that works for at least the Uwatec range of computers that are IrDA. I have no idea whether that is a full implementation of the IrDA stack or whether it is just a hack. It would be very useful to know what their approach was in designing this.
With the divemate solution, the IrDA stack runs on the dongle, not on the host. The host system will see it as a regular usb device (possibly a standard usb-serial chip) and talk to it using some custom communication protocol (probably some simple pass-through mechanism). So the dongle effectively hides the underlying IrDA communication from the host system.
