Is there an infrared multiplayer game (like IR pong) that can be played between a Pocket PC and a Palm? My girlfriend has a Palm m505, and I'm trying to find a game we can play against each other (she got me an iPAQ 1935 for X-Mas)? Thanks.

Handmark has a few games that are available for both Palm and PPCs. I would assume they're compatible... But I've not tested this theory.

May not be the games your looking for tho.... Scrabble, monopoly... etc...

I would suggest you upgrade her system - then the gaming would be much more fun!

YES... You need a company that makes the game for BOTH systems. One such game is Battleship (http://www.handmark.com/products/detail.php?id=160) from Handmark (http://www.handmark.com/) which SHOULD work between PocketPC and Palm via IR.

It definately would increase the number of games available if you BOTH had the same system but Handmark (http://www.handmark.com/) and other simular companies are your best bet otherwise.

GOOD LUCK!
