I've finally ordered new iPAQ 212 and it will be my new toy soon. I have played with my friend's one and love it. The only one thing is missing is IR and I need it for downloading data from Polar heart rate watch. Could you guys recommend CF or SDIO IR card for iPAQ if they exist? I did some googling and found only CF IR extender which sold with tv remote software and according description working only with their soft.

Several years ago I knew of an infrared SD card, but IR has pretty much become obsolete. You'll probably have better luck finding an infrared USB adapter that you could use with a computer.

Thanks Julie!
It's what I thought. It is clear why IR become absolette. It never was very reliable and most devices use BT these days, but not all. Polar HR monitors still use IR for communication. It is not a problem with laptop as IR USB adaptor was included with my Polar monitor, so I have no problems downloading data to laptop when I am at home. But I quite like downloding data after my long runs in the park while having nice cup of coffee in cafe by the lake and share data with other runners. At the moment I am using my old iPAQ 4150 for that. Unfortunatelly it doesn't have such a nice VGA screen as iPAQ 212. All graphs would look much better on big bright 212 screen. But you can not have everything...
