The technology is present, but there is no application for MD titling. The
Palm application for ordinary audio/video IR commands via Palm is
OmniRemote from http://www.pacificneotek.com

BTW, users tell that the power of the IR beam of the  2 MB upgrade module
is noticable higher than that of the PalmIII.

Hmm, last time I "read"(1) the telegraaf, it was still that same kind of 
gossip
that it was a few years ago. Besides I've got since short (about 1 month ago)
the WWW in my home. I only have e-mail at work!
Well I didn't use the ";)" for nothing ! Anyway http://www.volkskrant.nl might 
be worth a look...

Anyway, thanks for the note!

Nice ;)

(1) The language used in the telegraaf resembles Dutch. I try to understand 
what
their writing, but I get confused by all the bold, italic, underlined, big,
small, fonts used at the same page.
Their newspaper still is sort of a tabloid. But still, when you look beyond 
all the sh%t, they've still got a lot of info about our beautiful country !

 Hi people,
 
 Today I saw a Grundig deck in Dixons here in the UK for  149 - it didn't

 Anybody know anything about it?

Ralph, 
I'm afraid you are mistaken. Philips dropped Grundig about 1 and a half year 
ago when the company couldn't make a profit for about 4 years. After Philips 
bought of the contract with Grundig, Grundig seems to prosper again and now it 
enters the MD market. Perhaps even to show Philips they were wrong ?

BTW other brands "owned" by Philips: Magnavox, Aristona, Denon (Yes, a 
japanese company which has been making MD stuff for years, so they've actually 
produced MD for quite some time)

Marantz is another brand fully owned by Philips but they have introduced a
few MD products mainly in the form of CD-MiniDisc combo decks.
