around your house.

128mb???? gawd .. more than my ipaq????????

I take it the xda works with bluetooth headsets? Humm maybe I should get
on=

But then what do I do with my ipaq?

I need to do some research on this!!! might be my new toy!

Thanks .. but I am sure my wallet will not be thanking you.
