I think the only times I've seen anybody use PDAs to exchange contact 
information were at IETF meetings, in the hallways, when people had time 
to kill.  It just takes too long.  Typically, when two companies are 
meeting, and you've got, say, four people on each side, everybody swaps 
business cards in under a minute, and you're done.  Doing the same thing 
via IR would hold the meeting up too long.

Please keep in mind two things
1) I wrote
     "I am not too enthusiastic with all that internationalization" ;-))
2) I used the example with PDAs mainly for international contacts. Maybe
   our company is to small, but most of the time I have face to face
   contact to people of foreign companies they are from a local
   subsidiary and they have a local domain on their cards. So with most
   of the meetings (for me at least) this would be a non issue.
