I have an HP iPaq 5555 and use a program from PDAwin:

This software is pretty good - it allows you to load pronto CCF files into

so you can use the pronto edit software to create you layouts.

I believe Dell as well as HP make Pocket PC devices with consumer IR in

Hi All

I have got a bit of a dilemma.

I have got an original Pronto that we use downstairs and I have very=20
happy with it. Now we want another one for upstairs.

So I went off and found the new Pronto RU950 at =A3200. So I thought=20
great I can get that.

Then I started thinking about the Pocket PC based remote solutions.=20
Surely for around =A3200-=A3250 I could get a remote and a PocketPC in=20
one?

So what are my options for PocketPC based solution?

So far I have only found this - http://www.ultramote.com/index.php

Are there others?

and are they as good as a Pronot based solution?

Cheers
