Does anyone know how to distinguish between a Palm and a Pocket PC over IR?
During discovery, I can get the IRDA_DEVICE_INFO structure and it has device
name (which is user configurable -- won't work). But it also has
irdaDeviceHints1 and irdaDeviceHints2. Are these standard or fairly
standard on PDA's? I get 0x82 and 0x20 for Palms and 0x92, 0x24 for two
Pocket PC's and 0x82, 0x24 for the other PPC.

Thanks
-Brian

The device hints only indicate basic device type and supported services, you
can't infer a manufacturer from these. The values are defined in af_irda.h
