An infrared device, the JetEye PC ESI-9680A, from Extended Systems (Boise, ID), lets you transfer data from a desktop to a laptop without using a cable. The unit works with any portable that supports the IrDA infrared standard. You attach the Jet- Eye ($135) transceiver to the serial port on your desktop. To establish a connection, you aim your laptop's infrared port at the transceiver. You can access data and applications from a floppy disk or hard drive or send data to a printer. The JetEye operates at 115.2 Kbps.
