Yeah, the Palm accepts file inputs based upon their filenames, but it can also be specified in the OBEX header, too, I think. Anyway, I know that .txt is Memo Pad Records, .vcd's are for Address Book entries, etc. Empire could definately beam stuff out, but for now anyway it will probably be limited to OBEX stuff. Any IrCOMM utilities (terminal over IrCOMM or such) would have to be separate, and I'm not sure if two apps can use the IrDA port at the same time. The only IrCOMM stuff you would be using would be ppp or a terminal, but these are not going to be 100% reliable on the Empeg, especially with the 2.2.x kernel.
