You can communicate the two, but what you send or receive?
IrDA is a serial interface. The speed is say in general very slow compared to WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. It was very popular 10 years ago when you synchronize your Palm Pilot with 512 KB of RAM, but today, with devices with large amounts of data, It is not fast enough to be unusable.
The speed limit is usually 115 kbit / s, although some devices speeds up to 16 Mbit / s
There are people who are red (IR Irish) and all kinds of funky things, but easy to use, well supported, blue tooth, I would if I were you.
