I had been wondering what I was going to do with my 2+ year old Palm III when the Compaq iPaq 3600 I have ordered arrives. It just so happens that I was in the market for a URC, and by chance came upon this site and the forums. After reading about the OmniRemote and ORDesktop software, I purchased both along with the IR extender.

I am extremely pleased with the performance of both programs, and eagerly await the arrival of the IR extender - I hope it will remedy the poor native IR range of the Palm III. It is interesting to note that with some devices (Pioneer projection tv) the IR range is ~20 feet, but with others (Mitshu VCR)only 5 or 6 feet.

I spent a total of ~$60.00 for both programs/IR extender and will continue to use the Palm. For me, this set up can't be beat.
