And if you think a cable is cool, how about connecting your palm to the empeg using the infrared stuff.

I guess you'd just need need irda/ircomm in the kernel and something that can spawn a shell on /dev/ircomm. There is a palm app called 'ptelnet' that can connect to either plain serial, serial over IR, or telnet. But telnet would involve running pppd on the player.

Hey, and with palmvnc, even people with a broken display nipple can still view/control their players
