I ordered an adapter (2.5mm Headset/3.5mm Audio Headphone Adapter) for my Cingular 8125 SmartPhone. This adapter converts the proprietary 4 conductor audio jack on the PDA to both a 3.5mm audio headphone jack(for use with headphones or speakers or anything else) and to a 2.5mm headset jack. Yesterday it arrived so I [...]
I’ve picked up a few accessories for my new toy - the Cingular 8125 PDA Phone (Cingular) (aka HTC Windows Mobile PDA-Phone thingy):
Plantronics Discovery 640 Bluetooth Cell Phone Headset
The headset was a necessity as using this thing as a phone is a bit awkward - especially when driving. The unit comes with a earplug [...]
I returned from a trip to Silicon Valley last week to find my new Cingular 8125 PDA Phone was finally ready. So far, I’ve been fairly impressed and think that it will serve quite well for both work-related and non-work tasks. Blackberry mania has made its way into my company and I had been [...]
While investigating options for getting audio into the PocketPC for use with PocketDigi, I discovered that quite a number of PDAs offer the 4 conductor cable (3.5mm) which can be used with an adapter cable which splits out the mic-line. Perfect for use with PocketDigi and the Tigertronics SL-1+.

Spent some time today working on the Tigertronics SL-1+ in an attempt to interface PocketDigi software on my iPAQ 2215 to my Icom. The SL-1+ goes together quickly, but with the Icom and the 6 pin connector, I must provide power to the unit. That meant a trip to Radio Shack for a connector, [...]
The company I work for, Emerson Process Management, is one of many caught up in the Blackberry craze. My boss has a Blackberry, evey director and VP has one, and I’ve been the only hold-out. I’ve been dragging my heels on getting one mainly because I’ve become so attached to PocketPCs (lately my iPaq 2215). [...]
Several years ago - not long after I’d developed PPCMorse, the Morse Code tutor for PocketPC, I had folks asking me when I would create a PSK utility for PocketPCs. As much as the prospect intrigued me, I simply didn’t have the time to investigate it. I had wanted to check out what had been [...]
