Does anyone know if it is possible to beam via IR from Palm OS to PPC and vice versa? Is there a program that will facilitate this. I have tried it and the devices "see" each other but cannot actually transmit. I would like to transfer contact information, notes, word docs, and spreadsheets. My supervisor at work has a Visor and would like to create to-do lists and such to beam to me, but we have been unable to accomplish this. I know, I know, he should have bought a PPC, and I tried to talk him into it, but he is pretty lame with this stuff and I guess the Visor was "dumb" enough for him to figure out. It seems to me that this should be possible, seeing that the 2 devices can see each other. It must just come down to programming.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I believe the program "PeaceMaker" allows you to transfer data between the two platforms over irDa.

I used Peacemaker to send all my info from my defunct Palm V to my iPAQ. It works fine, but you'll have to edit a lot of stuff on the PPC afterwards.

If you want to tranfers "real" files though you do need some extr software (on the Visor/palm side) as Palm OS only does xfers PIM stuff. E.g. BeamBox from palmgear.

Pocket PC2002 does, in fact, have this ability built in. I used to to transfer all of my contacts and memos to the PPC from my PalmIIIX.

That's what Shape said. And with the link.
