I could have sworn that I found a universal remote adapter for the iPod on the internet the other day, that plugs into the headphone jack and remote jack of the iPod.

Now (since I forgot to bookmark it, or have completely fabricated the whole thing, which at this point isn't out of the question) when searching for it, I find tons of articles on the universal remote hack, which uses Griffin Technology's IR converter (but this simply plugs into the headphone jack, and requires use of a pocket PC to gather the input of the signals), but nothing else.

If anyone has seen a universal remote adapter for the iPod (that utilizes the headphone and remote port of the iPod) please post a link to ease my mind.
 
I think/hope that I confused the first link you posted for something that could be plugged into the top of the iPod, which would allow the iPod to become a universal remote for TVs, DVD players, etc.

I know Griffin was planning to release such a product, but Apple apparently did not want them to, so they modified their idea to work on a Pocket PC.

This hack shows how you can use Griffin's device and turn the iPod into a universal remote: http://features.engadget.com/entry/6336778455600767/

When I first saw the RemoteRemote 2, I guess I thought it was a universal remote adapter for the iPod, that would not require the hack work-around that Griffin's Total Remote device does. Oh well. At least I can rest my mind.
