XDA II / iMate PDA IR Keyboard Drivers

G'day All,
Has anyone found an IR keyboard that works with the XDA II (or iMATE) other than the mythical genuine O2 IR Keyboard?
Every driver that I've found so far either trashes the XDA II or really messes things up.
While I understand that there's a few people on the forums asking a similar question, I thought I'd start a topic and see if we can aggregate the various results!
BTW: To start the ball rolling - Targus say "not anytime soon" for their XDA II driver, Citipack are meant to be working on one (a few months away). ThinkOutside don't reply to emails (!!)...
Any other results?
Cheers
Andy

COMPETITION!
Just to make things a little interesting!
Anyone WANT A FREE IR KEYBOARD??
The first person that emails me an IR Keyboard driver that works on a Citipack IR Keyboard with an iMate (XDA II) wins a brand new CitiPack keyboard including freight to wherever you are (we sell these keyboards).
Email: [email protected]
Cheers!
Andy

Competition Finished
Well Guys,
That was really disappointing!
No-one submitted a driver at all!
AND we've now got them ready for the iMate / XDA II/ MDA II
The IR Keyboard with drivers for XDA II / iMate etc is now available for Australian buyers online at
http://estore.pressd.com in the Pocket PC & Barcode Solutions section under the iMate / XDA section or under keyboards.
Cheers
Andy

could you send me the driver please as i cant get the keyboard working with my xda 2

Which WM5.0 Device Should I Get

Ok, my PDA2K is running WM5.0 but as you all may know it still has flaws and well I have had it for over a year and think it's time to get a new phone, the only problem is that I have no way of seeing or using any of these WM5.0 devices until I buy it. so I wanted to ask all the users of these devices what they suggest.
Your information would be greatly appreciated.

so you're not able to go down to a store and try before you buy??...is that what you mean??

"other device"
I suggest the Advance TC M.A.G.I.C.

man that is sweet built in gps too, but I wouldn't be suprised if it turned out to be like the Motorola MPx

Actually, I've been in contact with this company, and they confirm a launch. A more exact date can be pinpointed by mid-April. They already have a sole distributor to handle things as well

well then I am going to look to you to let me know when who and if you can how much
I am sure like all new Windows phones it will hit the market at some outrageous amount right....
Do you have any additional info you could pm me??
Thanks

Check your PM box. I PMed you some details on the device. If you have any further questions, just PM me and I can forward to my contact in Advance TC

I've recently got myself the Mio A701 (used to have a JAM).
A nice PPC. Its got GPS builtin which is very useful and is only marginally larger than the JAM was.
Comes with lots of good extras - car screen mount, car charger etc.
And it's no more expensive than things like the JAMin.
I feel I've made a good buy
One downside is that being very new the Mio support website aint got a lot on it yet. But apparantly they are working on some ROM updates.
See it here.

o2 Orbit

Hello,
I am new to the site and I have just purchased myself an o2 orbit. I am really happy with it but also very keen to understand how I can enhance its performance or tweak it.
Will their be a section for this phone?
Sorry if I am being impatient but I am raring to go.
Has anyone else got this phone yet? if so what have you done with it? Also where can I buy accessories for it?
I look forward to your responses.
Steve

Orbit and TomTom
Hi
i am very new to this thread, so hello and i thank you in advance for any help people are willing to offer.
I am going to be picking my Orbit up tomorrow from my local O2 store. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that TomTom is definately included with the UK models. I have seen on a couple of forums that some people are saying it isn't.

I think your phone is in the Artemis forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=316

Obit
Hi all,
I have never owned an XDA but thought I would put a post about the Orbit that I purchased 2 days ago.
It is an excellent piece of kit .. By default it does not come with TomTom (I was offered CoPilot with a £40 contract but I already had TomTom so I declined. I have put TomTom on the device and it works brilliant .. it seems much more accurate than my palm version (probably more accurate GPS device inside).
I used TomTom for an hour today and my battery went down 2%! Brilliant.
Everything is good about the device .. the only gripe I have is that the microphone socket is mini usb (but I am sure there is a convertor out there for that).
The radio is good too (this also seems to have a minimal drain on the battery).

Need help

Hi guys,
I am looking to buy a pda for work, but need help on which one. Have been looking at an iPAQ. Will be working mostly with Excel documents. Also, need to be able to work with Word and PDF's. Can anyone give some advice.
Thanks,
Chris

all windows mobile pda's meet those requirements

Great. Anyone have any experience with this one - http://www.pressdigital.com.au/phones-classic-pdas-accessories/ipaq-enterprise-handheld-p-5551.html
Thanks

Well, I took the plunge and ordered this one. I will post back to let you know how it goes.

Hi Amiller,
A friend of mine uses the PDA you mentioned. I asked him, and he said he loves it and would recommend it to anyone. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.
Chris

I appreciate the tip. I got it today, and love it. Really easy to use. Love how easy it is to check my personal and office emails, open and edit all my docs and excel files. I would like to get a bigger keyboard though for traveling. Any suggestions?

I would recommend the HD and second the G1
Good luck in your desicion

Thanks. I just came across this one. Anyone have any experience with it?

Looks good. Bluetooth, full-size, fabric...

That link is for the keyboard mate, not any device there...
Unless the ones on the pic?? HP maybe.....

I bought the iPAQ, and I am looking for a good keyboard for traveling.

I bought that keyboard myself a few months ago, and love it. It is as easy to use as a regular keyboard, but very convenient to travel. I love that it is bluetooth and I don't have to worry about plugging it in. I couldn't go back to using my old mini keyboard. You won't be disappointed.

If you have any questions about it, please let me know.

Thanks for the advice cajohnson. I just ordered it and will let you know how it goes.

Received it today. Had it out of the box and typing away in 15 minutes. Works great. I can pack it in the case with my pda and go. Types like a full size keyboard. Makes my pda much more functional. Appreciate all your help.

NetFront No Longer Sells this
I bought a LocationFree off ebay and it was advertised as for windows mobile but now can not get the software because Netfront no longer allows it to be sold or downloaded.
The upgraded model is still for sale at the BB by my house and still advertise that it works on windows mobile.
This is crap. I snapped a picture with my phone and sent the picture and link to the AG in my state. At this point I am of the opinion that Sony is the spawn of the Devil.

The English version has been posted on this forum by another user. I have the Japanese version and when I downloaded the English version, the serial worked. All of the settings were already populated as well, even though I removed the Japanese version from my mobile device already prior to installing the English version. I hope this helps!

I posted a free listing on the most popular online auction site in the Want It Now section. Luckily, someone had the software (Japanese version) and sold it to me for $20 or $30. This was in December 2008. Recently, I downloaded the English version and the serial works for it as well. I have it installed on my hp iPAQ hx2115 which I purchased online. I hope this helps!
