The answer is "maybe". I have a Palm Vx and the built in IR is not great. But you can try it and see how well it works for you. See below.

Grab a trial copy of OmniRemote at
www.pacificneotek.com. Pardon the plug but you might also want to get a trial copy of ORDesktop at
www.ordesktop.com.
Try OmniRemote on your Vx and see if works for you. It might.
