Oops! Maybe not...
Authored by: dwchin on Oct 21, '03 01:28:14AM

Bah. It's offered on the Italian Apple Store, but they will only take orders from addresses in Italy.

I ordered a generic USB-IrDA adapter, but System Profiler doesn't even pick it up. Nothing shows up on either USB bus in the "Devices and Volumes" pane. Freakin' annoying. Anyhoo, good thing it was only $20. I dunno if I'd want to pay $60 for an IrDA-USB adapter if, for that price, I can just upgrade my phone to a Bluetooth-capable one.

Maybe I'll get motivated to hack a USB driver...

Well, I just had better luck Froogling for 'belkin smartbeam'. I'm still somewhat philosophically opposed to paying more than $20 for something that's essentially a simple translator. Maybe Panther will make this all moot. One can only hope...
