Control The RoboSapien With Your iPAQ 2215
Man, Phillip Torrone gets to play with all the cool toys... his latest endeavor is controlling a $99 robot called the RoboSapien that can take IR commands with an iPAQ 2215, whose Nevo remote control works perfectly in making him (it?) do all sorts of cool things.
There's a video on the linked Engadget article, which I highly recommend you go see. It's hilarious.  Have a great weekend, everyone!

Cool! According to BestBuys website, they have it in stock at the local store. Might just have to go get a new toy.

If you fancy desk toys, get a hold of a DigiQ remote control. They're as small as a matchbook, and take commands via IR.
Point the remote at your PPC's IR, use your favorite TV-Remote software to "learn" new buttons, and viola, a PPC controlled RC that's small enough to keep in your pocket
