[NTLK] Infrared port usability on new intel Macs

To all,

In their review of the new Macbook, Macworld says
at
http://www.macworld.com/2006/02/reviews/mbpromain/index.php

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The MacBook Pro is Apple’s first laptop model to come with
an infrared remote control and Front Row software, and
there’s a corresponding infrared port on the front edge of
the system, to the left of the latch.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The question is whether this port might be in some way
compatible with the Newton 21001s IRDA port ? I have seen
very little information on this port beyond what is said
above. On the Apple site, all I could find was a
reference to "the infrared Apple Remote;" without
specifications.

Thanks,
David
