I am currently looking to purchase a PDA. While it will be primarily used for business, I would like the functionality of a universal remote. Any expert advice would be appreciated.
I am currently considering the: HP 4705 HP 2750 Dell X50v
I had thought about the Dell X30 and HP 3715 as well, but wanted more horsepower. Any information regarding past use of any of these 3 devices as a remote would be very helpful. Also, if anyone has any knowledge of compatible programs with these devices, please advise. Thanks.

Here are replies I received from the software makers. If anyone else has any info, let me know.
Cardonware We currently support the Axim x50s and don't have much experience with the other HP models at this time. The x50v IrDA is top mounted and has very good range even without our UltraMote Extender(r). The x50v is a super PDA and is great for home multitasking as described in our recent article on Hometoys. We can also add you to our notification list and email you if we add either the 47xx or 27xx in future versions.
WinCeSoft Haven't tested the iPAQ 4705 and 2750, but have some customers which have bought RC II for these models. I can attest the Dell x50v a good CIR- transmit range because I'm using it. One of next versions of RC II will have a screen rotate function, so the IR transceiver at the bottom of the hx4700 should be no problem.
Griffin Technologies We have not tested the PDAs you have listed, so we can not make any comment on their functionality with the Total Remote Software. We have stopped development on the software so there will likely be no future updates.
