Unfortunately, this won't help for expression arrays. Last time I checked, those IDATs appeared to be encrypted.
crlmm, methylumi, and minfi can all read IDAT files... *if* they are "version 3" or later (e.g. genotyping, methylation, etc). Otherwise you are probably stuck with GenomeStudio if it is expression data you're dealing with.
