True. IrCOMM was my main target. Looking at the bug reports, it seems to
work quite well (with some exceptions). But I'll try to get everything
working.

This is probably the biggest difference: Nitro and IC/VC are open
source. If I decide to stop working on them (because I'm busy
implementing something like a Bluetooth driver ;), they're open for
anybody to improve. Especially IC/VC would benefit from people adding
more features such as compatibility with devices that are not standards
conform (everybody claims they're doing iCalendar or vCard when in
reality, it's just some old subset).
