That's quite possible… with 5300s. The Wallstreet G3s, unlike the 5300s, abide by irDA standards, which should allow them to transfer faster (4 Mbps, last I checked). With a 5300, it might depend on your RAM or other factors. With the Wallstreet, you should be able to go ahead. I'd try something small to start out, though… just to be sure ;)
