Hi there I want to use a PDA as a remote. I have a HP4700 which seems to work but the ir port is on the bottom which is not very helpful. Can anybody recommend a good pda for the job where the ir port is along the top edge where it needs to be Thanks Mark

I use a Dell Axim X5 with the Ultramote sfw and Extender plugged into the top CF slot ($30). Great range for the IR, over 25 feet straight on. About 20 feet at a 45 degree angle. Check around for a PDA with "good" range off the built in IR, most have very limited range (less than 5 feet). The Dell has a top IR device. Check the Dell forum for newer models that may have better built-in range.
The Ultramote software is okay. Works fine but if you want good looks you'll need to build your own templates which isn't too hard.
