USBtiny-IR is a LIRC (Linux Infrared Remote Control) compatible infrared-remotecontrol receiver.
Igor Cesko has developed a infrared-receiver for USB called IgorPlug. This is supported by the Linux remotecontrol-driver LIRC. Dick Streefland wrote a free firmware for the USBtiny-IR usbtiny.
I have developed some PCBs for the circuit designed by Dick Streefland which is quite small (30mm * 30mm), and have both a mini-USB-COnnector for external use and a pinheader for internal use.
Kits and boards are available via the Lochraster.org-webshop.
