After playing around with settings, I was finally able to access my wireless network with my HP iPAQ 110. Here's what I did.

1. Under Wireless > Wireless Security, set the model to WEP, setting a passphrase and generating keys.
2. Make sure your wireless is enabled.
3. Once the network shows in your iPAQ, set the Authentication to Shared and the Data Encryption to WEP.
4. Select the key index and enter the key equal to the Default Transmit Key from the WRT54G.
5. Check "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control", and an EAP type of PEAP.

That's it - you should be able to connect now.

I don't play PC games any more, and I watch (most) movies on my nice television. So, what I really wanted from these little speakers was to be able to listen to iTunes every once in a while, and watch assorted videos online (YouTube, Video.Google, and even Netflix every once in a while).

These speakers are perfect for exactly that.

The small size means that they don't take up too much real-estate on my desk (about 3.5 inches wide and 3 inches deep), but they're nice enough that I can enjoy listening to music or videos.

And, with USB, that means not having to worry about a lot of cords.

Overall, I've been very happy with this purchase.

When I purchased my new HP a6360t, I also added in a HP Pocket Media Drive Bay, which allows me to directly connect in a HP Pocket Media Drive.

In turn I'm easily able to add 160GB or 250GB of additional drive space, whenever I need it, to store various media (documents, music, photos, videos, etcetera).

One thing I was curious about was whether the drive I had, a HP 160GB Pocket Media Drive, could be directly connected to my Playstation 3.

Unfortunately, it looks like they cannot be directly connected.

If you attempt to do so, the drive appears to not have enough power to fully spin up. The front drive light flashes a couple of times while the drive spins, but then both stop, only to start back up in a few moments. Repeat.

While it's unfortunate that this doesn't work, I suppose it could be expected. But, it is a little unfortunate. Perhaps with an external power supply, or if both cables were plugged in, things might function ...
