no such animal exists However there is hope.
WHY: Smart phones do not support Infra Red, they have no IR hardware and thus can not replace an I/R Remote.
older PDA's however DO have I/R communications ability (Go back about 10 years) and there was indeed a I/R Remote app for those
Finally there are Remotes in the 50-150 dollar range where you can download device

Dude; read the thread. THERE ARE SMART PHONES THAT HAVE BUILT IN IR!
And you can buy IR / Bluetooth bridges for those that don't.
