My iPaq HQ4705 has the features below, but I also bought a 1gig sdram card for it for more storage The only problem is that it does not have an input for audio, only output. It does have a connection for hooking up to my cradle or USB to sync, transfer files, etc, via USB. It is possible that a program could use that as a way to transfer audio input. I think some other PDAs out there may have at least a mic input....not sure. Kris a.. WLAN 802.11b, Bluetooth 1.2, IrDA (FIR), USB and Serial b..
