Skype and PDA - wireless voice over IP
I have used the last few days of my life to get aquainted with the world of pocketPC's. Wow, this opens a lot of options for a gadgeteer like myself. I am definately going to buy a PocketPC! Right now I'm in the cheerful process of deciding wich one. Well, to the point:
I have been asking myself if a wireless voice-over-IP setup is possible with a PocketPC? I imagine the following setup:
1.
A vioce-over-IP program is installed on at desktop computer. www.skype.com could be a good choice, it is an excellent piece of software.
2.a
The audio is streamed to the PocketPC via WLAN (inspired by this fine article: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/arti...on=expand,3263)
2.b
Alternatively: Perhaps full duplex communication of audio is possible by other means such as VNC for pocket PC or the likes?
3.
A bluetooth headset is connected to the PDA. I haven't found records of this on PocketPCthoughts, apparently drivers are missing, but it ought to be be possible: www.atinav.com/bluetooth/audiodriver.pdf
4. I can now (in theory) take a walk in a radius of (up to) 300 meters from my home and have a conversation free of charge with my long forgotten uncle on the other side of the Globe. Nice 
There is a few flaws in the setup, in particular I haven't found out how to send the audio from the PDA back to skype on the desktopPC (2.a). Any suggestions?
Any comments would be appreciated, I am rellly having fun thinking about such scenarios, and can't wait to try them out for real!
