[snip]
1. Would the IrDA portion of a TV remote control device be compatible with
a
Newton, and if not, why couldn't they be interchanged?

There is a sony remote package that I use for controlling our TV.

2. What is it about the Newton's IrDA or related circuitry that restricts
the Newton's IrDA transmission/reception range to roughly one meter?
[snip]

The aforementioned Sony remote seems to work for me from across a living
room, estimated distance about 5 metres from my couch to the TV.

Can't help on anything else, sorry.
