progress on the "thingie"
Okay we've talked about the thingie before...some of you like to call it a remote controll...but the "thingie" sounds much better. Its the thing that most mp3 players and mini disk players come with to change the tracks with out touching the device. Has any one heard anything about an ipaq with one? Would it be possiable to some how mod the 2215 to get one? Come on...i know you people pull shots at HP and Microsoft...lets get this done!!!

Since the 2215 can act as a Remote Control (Nevo), then I suppose you're asking for a "thingie for the thingie". Am I right?  |

Im afraid you cannot have a thingy because the actual iPAQ doesnt support any ID3 transmissions through the headphone jack, you need a computer chip like on my Yepp Player that allows it to send the track information and such to the Remote Controller. Ill post pics to show you what I mean.
Here is the little tutorial I made, hope you enjoy it! its on my site to reduce Bandwidth costs etc.

i'm pretty sure they just want the ability to remotely press buttons, and they're not concerned with remote id3 info.. |

Its still the same, your iPAQ has to send the information down the wire to your Remote Control, and the Headphone jack cannot do this without the chip, its only for sound.

aha bluetooth? bye battery life.
but err sony things don't use the headphone port for sending data down anyway, they use a slot nest to the headphone jack which carries data..
so if there' was some way to mod an sdio slot so that you could use the io part to do remote controlling, and still leave it open for a sd memory card, that'd work. aha. good luck, though. it'd probably make everything stick out and be ugly.. but still, there'd be a way ;D
i, uh.. *dare* someone to come up with a way.. chickens.

Why not have a connector that plugs into the docking connector at the bottom?
It should have all the data/audio/power connectors you would need
