after doing some google searching, it looks like there is both 900mhz radio
and IR.

the remote field rechargers seem to use IR to recharge, but this function can
be enabled and disabled remotely via the 900mhz radio link.

also, players can be turned on or off remotely.

sounds like a really fun project!
it would be really cool to use either a pic based recharger or maybe even a
palmpilot type recharger.

good luck.
if i run across anything, i will be sure to pass it along!
