If that is the case they are making a mistake.
Smartphone and Pocket PC are two entirely different
things, and while they are probably about 90%
compatible in practical usage it is still the
wrong nomenclature and they have done a dissevice
to one of their customers.
Am I wrong about the word Smartphone: Is this a Pocket PC combined with a Cell Phone? Sprint does not call it a Smartphone, I did, they call it a Pocket Pc with a cell phone.
That actually is a good thought, but does not
apply in this case. The Total Remote transmitter
should be no different than standard 3.5mm headphones
in the way they make a physical connection to
the pins inside the headphone jack.
The Jack is different, it has donut type metal rim like an audio port on the back of a VCR, but very tiny.
I wonder, do you know if Wistron makes
that Smartphone? Wistron made the Casio E-200
and Dell Axim X5, both of which had nearly identical
substandard audio hardware.
Do not know

Griffen Tech is taking back my product, therefore, I am moving on, probably good ridance. So it is off to the Pronto Pro and Next Generation Forums to reek havoc there.

SO BACK TO THE QUESTION AT HAND
------------------------------------------------
How good is Total Remote?
Although, some remote control pda software works on my pda, Total Remote, did display the best graphics, and crashed less. It did support file sizes up to 5 megabytys ( that it the largest file I downloaded and displayed )
If I had the time to play with it on a perfect ppc that could run the software, I am sure it would be a blast.
If allowed, I would like to keep a copy of the software on my pda to show and recommend to my clients that there is an option to the Phillips and Marantz Remote Controls.
My recommendations to Griffen Tech and TR is two fold:
-->First, develop or support a ccf editor. such as tonto to produce better graphics on our pda's
-->Second, Is to get the support from a major PPC developer. I and others would flock to that PPC just for the combination. You have read it on the forums, users are buying pdas just for use with TR. (I do not trust the compatability list)
