What's the IR like on the 4150/4155. I hear the IR is on the bottom, which would then make it useless for using it as a remote control? Is this true? If so, I'd actually go into the dark zone and consider the X3i.

You are correct the IR port is on the bottom of the unit. Supposedly the 4350will have it on the top. It was a surprise that they did that considering how popular the nevo remote was for the 2210. I have seen some posts that said HP considered this device to be geared more towards the enterprise customers so they felt this was insignificant not sure if that is correct though.

Heh.....just make all of your CCF files (if using PDAwin) upside down. J/k

Has anyone tested the IR on the 4150/4155 with remote control software to see what kind of range it gets?

I heard it's IR range is horrible, from a few threads on brighthand.com and pocketpcthoughts.com

Figures.....

If it is on the bottom, I'm sure remote usage was the last thing that HP was thinking about with this one.
