I am searching for a BT device for memory (CF preferred) access. My disappointment with the h2215 (especially screen and speaker position) are making the h1945 more attractive. My interest is to find a BT device that accepts a CF card as memory: the CF card becomes a 'wireless drive' accessible by the BT enabled PPC. This would enable the h1945 or any BT PPC to effectively become dual slot for at least memory access.
Has anyone seen something along these lines?
Some of my thoughts:
(1) BT is ideal: keep the BT drive in the pocket while the PPC is in the hand. A BT device for CF memory access would require only a small battery.
(2) It seems that IBM would try to expand it's MicroDrive market by taking the MicroDrive out of the CF slot and making it a stand-alone BT device. Give it an on/off switch, short wireless range (perhaps 1m), or password for security.
(3) Infrared could suffice although it would be awkward.
(4) a downstream USB port on the PPC would lie between BT and IR in convenience.
