The disadvantage is that outside sounds may be picked up that interfere with the recording. You MUST recalibrate the microphones if you change from one orientation (landscape) to another (portrait). This is because the skew angle changes and the sound will no longer be in the angle of acceptance. If necessary, refer to the earlier information on skew angle.
Infrared (IrDA) Port The IrDA port uses the infrared connection protocol to transfer data or digital images from any IrDA enabled device to a specified file location on another IrDA equipped device.

The Bluetooth device is ready to use.
• Bluetooth audio support is currently based on technology that has not been fully developed for speech recognition. In addition, the Bluetooth software in the Tablet PC does not have a pre-installed Bluetooth headset profile. Therefore, for speech recognition, we recommend that you not use a Bluetooth wireless headset. Moreover, the Motion Speak Anywhere technology is designed to record clear audio, dictate notes, and use voice commands without the need for any type of microphone headset.
