While on the subject.....

The MP2000/2100/eMate 300 offer IrDA not just IR like the 1x0s... this is
great for IR printing, connectivity to a desktop (it's been done... but it's
nothing but a hack) and longer beam abilities plus the ability to use
BackTalk to beam to and from Palms... the 1x0 can not do this....
