One possibility might be to set up a local website and have the pocketPCs
communicate . Using windows I get internet access on my pda when its
connected through usb. On the other hand, I'm not sure if you can have
multiple computers connected via one irda port.
I don't want to pretend to know what I'm doing but it seems like an
interesting idea. I'm not quite sure that I understand what the big
picture is though.

> * software that would display in full screen images and videos
> (hopefully open source so it can be made to send out signals on
> interaction with PC and pick up images without relaying much on system
> software)

> Anyone done anything similar or has ideas on how to approach this?
