I would prefer fast bluetooth ;-( Check out my thread in the Wireless forum of ppcthoughts. Is it just me or is bluetooth really slow ? :(

I bought this today and am pretty impressed. I spoke with a tech at Clarinet and apparently it only works on the 3600/3700, not the 3100/3800/3900 :(.

With my IRDASH 2.0 software I am able to receive 90K bytes per second over IrOBEX from my desktop PC. That's about the same speed as ActiveSync over USB. ActiveSync over IR does not appear to run much faster - basically proves what a dog ActiveSync is.
