Hi,

I just discovered NetRemote and have some basic questions. I have used a Pronto TSU1000 since it came out, so am very familiary with CCF/IR from that perspective.

- what PDAs are currently available that have strong IR output and good screens?

- does NetRemote interface directly with iTunes, or is there some kind of bridge software? does the interface support browsing by album art?

- does NetRemote interface with Slimserver? (as alternative to iTunes)

- does NetRemote interface directly with the GlobalCache GC-100-06 or is there some kind of bridge software? (in case I can't / don't want to use direct IR, I was thinking of using a GC-100-06 to blast IR to hidden components)

- how stable/glitch free is NetRemote in a typical setup? (honestly, I can handle the truth)

Thanks in advance for the help and advice!

Dell Axim x3, x30, or x50

Bridge via MediaBridge, included with NetRemote Music and Pro/Pro+IR, allowing for browsing by album art.



- does NetRemote interface with Slimserver? (as alternative to iTunes)

Not at this time.



- does NetRemote interface directly with the GlobalCache GC-100-06 or is there some kind of bridge software? (in case I can't / don't want to use direct IR, I was thinking of using a GC-100-06 to blast IR to hidden components)

Direct.

Other than a wireless network issue here and there with my PPC's, my setup is 100% stable (but others should chime in).
