Hi Marc,
if you have an 3870 ipaq you might like to remote control it using the
bluetooth link
http://www.iptel-now.de/HOWTO/BT_REMOTE/bt_remote.html
I have once made a page about VGA output and input formats for giving
presentations with the ipaq - it's at
http://www.iptel-now.de/HOWTO/IPAQ_PRESENTER/ipaq_presenter.html
I don't have experiences with the newer Voyager cards (and not enough time
for testing / developing with the older at the moment) - but since you are
in Germany i could give away / lend an HP card for a few tests and if you
finally want even sell it.
best regards
ralf
