You can not use it as RC. If you will read FAQ about omniremote. you will find it does not work with m100.

I do not understand 3Com. If the worse equipment is released, it should be cheaper. I think m100 and pV family is only signal that 3Com is alive.
New device was present in april; palm with processor StrongARM. Question is how long 3Com will create new operating system for it. Half year, one year, three years...?
My suggestion, dont but any new "3Com ideas" like m100. If you donot want wait on new palm buy IIIxe or better TrgPro.
