I checked out the Dragonball VZ at Freescales site, it doesn=B4t have
USB but it does have two UARTs. But I think your thinking about
usb-cables for earlier palms which had a custom connector.
Maybe could be possible replace the IR with Bluetooth or hooking up
the the Bluetooth-to-RS-232 directly to the Dragonball but then it
would need  software.

Does anyone remember those old IR-Networkswas around before wifi took off?
Those could cover a whole room, the signal bounced of the walls(colour
made a big differnce ofcourse). Maybe its possible to modify a IRDA
adapter to work like that with better ir-diodes?
