With it, you can turn your Pocket PC into a fully-functional <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/default.mspx">Windows XP Media Center Edition</a> remote that works over any ActiveSync connection or wired/wireless network connection. <!><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060129-PPCTabletMCE2.jpg" /><br /><i><b>Connect easily:</b> <a href="http://www.aacompserv.com/AACompWeb/Modules/PPCTablet/WhatIsIt.aspx">PPC Tablet</a> loads the Media Center plug-in and connects directly to the Remote Control Server running on your Media Center PC.</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060129-PPCTabletMCE3.jpg" /><br /><i><b>Navigate easily:</b> Tap the Green Button on the Media Center plug-in to begin. The plug-in contains all the familiar buttons of a standard Media Center remote.</i><br /><br />For directional navigation, alongside its on-screen buttons, the Media Center plug-in also supports the D-pad and action button on the Pocket PC. You can also use SIPs where text-based entry is required (e.g. Messenger).<br /><br />I've released the Media Center plug-in as a free download for all Pocket PC Thoughts members. You can find it in the <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=59">Downloads</a> forum of this site.
