Anabolic infrared transfers
http://www.businesswire.com/cgi-bin/f_headline.cgi?bw.070902/221900273
Imagine an infrared transfer between two Pocket PCs taking 112 seconds to complete. Then change drivers, and the same transfer takes 14 seconds. This is what Clarinet Systems claim they can do with iPAQ Pocket PCs series 36xx and 37xx, as well as with NEC MobilePro P300.
The press release goes on and mentions another NEC Solutions America, too: "Another company delivering faster speeds in Pocket PC devices is NEC Solutions America. NEC has already announced their device is bringing high-speed communication capability to their MobilePro P300 Pocket PC by including 4Mbps FIR functionality. "Its incredible to see our MobilePro P300 finish downloading 100 pages of text from the Internet in 12 seconds through Clarinet's IR access point", said Larry Miller, Vice President and General Manager, Mobile Solutions Division, NEC Solutions (America), Inc."

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.
