"Smart Box" Links PPCs to Display, Keyboard, Mouse, Bluetooth?
This looks like a very cool device. Apparently, it enables your Pocket PC to be a complete interaction tool and is being sold in Japan.
The most interesting fact is that it seems to support both Bluetooth and USB connections to PDAs; however, I don't know Japanese, so if someone wants to translate the product page and let us know how this works, I'm all ears!
Update: Here's a link to a Babelfish-translated version of the product page, courtesy of WillyG. There's also more info linked from there.

Thanks! I've updated the post. Didn't realize that Babelfish now does Japanese...

Cool!
I've been looking for a solution like this for some time now--ever since I realized that, with TextMaker and my Stowaway keyboard, I pretty much use my Pocket PC like a desktop computer. The only thing missing is a full-screen monitor. Thought the only way I could do it was with the LifeView FlyJacket, but that's pretty expensive. This is too, for that matter, unfortunately, but it looks like another nice solution--if it ever becomes available here in North America!

The Pitch Duo
Excellent, looks like they are putting together a version of the Pitch Duo for the Pocket PC. You can read about the Palm OS version at
