I ordered the following items:
32655 - Touch Screen Stylus for All iPhone/PDA (Black)
32597 - Mini USB 5-Pin Charger Adapter for MOTO V9
29779 - USB Data + Charging Cable for Nokia 8600 (1.2M-Length)
I will let you know whether they work as expected as soon as I receive them (within a month I suppose).

Nice................

Capacitive stylus is completely useless. I borrowed 5 different models from a friend with a JesusPhone and they all work but not even close to a real stylus on a resistive screen. So save your money for something else

It's a bit late for this

How about a review ?

But it takes one month to receive an USB flash,and I have sent many messages to them,while I receive no reply,so I'll not buy goods from that terrible site.

Also, (although my pair were admittedly cheaper, off-eBay), I find that these detiorate after a few weeks and can break/make for a flimsy connection.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.45252
I bought an alternate version of this keyboard (white, not silver).
It works very well. It's pretty much the same size as an apple wireless keyboard, except made in plastic (doesn't feel super cheap though). Also contains all the windows keys -- so pgup, pgdn, home, end, and del keys are all there. And since it's not a foldable keyboard, it's a bit more reliable.
I actually like how it's plastic and can be disassembled easily. In addition, the back area (where the circuitry is) actually contains a lot of space so if the LiON battery runs out, you can easily mod it to take 2-3 AAA batteries (the internal batteries output at 3.7-4V) inside, leaving you with a bluetooth keyboard that you can operate on replaceable batteries alone.
Oh, as for the charging...you can charge and use the keyboard simultaneously. AND if you lose the charging cable, just open it up, and replace the charging recepticle with a USB port (unsolder the 2 leads, and just rip the recepticle right out, and replace with a USB port).
Easy to mod, and cheap. Good buy!

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/deluxe-htc-hd2-desktop-charging-cradle-p22701.htm
it has an extra battery slot for charging two batteries at once
built in headphone jack so you can plug it into speakers and use it as a media dock as well
there is a slighly cheaper version available which doesnt have the headphone jack built in
you can find this version here

Moved to HD2 Accessories

Should be a good bargain. I suppose that there arent any better docking stations around, particularly fot the HD2 model. I too have ordered the same thing (audio hack included) so eagerly awaiting its arrival
Sent from my HD2

I bought the same.
A word of warning, I tried to charge the bigger extended battery on it and it just lasted 5 minutes before it went with a funny smell and noise. I will send it back as there is still guaranty on it but I’m not sure if these chargers are just not prepared to take the bigger batteries.

Thank you for the useful info. With the cradle I also ordered an extended battery and wanted to charge it in the cradle. Now I will be more caucious.
My first question is: have you used an extended battery whitch comes with a flip stand cover, or an extended battery with a regular cover? (I ordered the one with a flip stand cover)
The second question is: have you charged the battery from within the phone (when the phone was attached to the cradle), or have you placed the battery into the cradle battery slot - without the phone attached?
This is very importand for me as I don't want to push my luck and use the warranty / send it back.
BTW: I recieved a call today from the seller... he apologised for lengthly shipping (took for over one month) and packed in a pen for capacitive screens as a bonus YAY
Sent from my HD2

I picked up one of these on ebay a while back - it was a version without the headphone jack and extra battery charger slot, but otherwise exactly the same from the looks of it. Was around AUD $20 with shipping from memory.
Worked fine with the usb cable, however the power cable when plugged into the same powerboard as my laptop caused it to build static up until it would not boot and I had to run the manual discharge cycle - could have been an issue with the converter for my local power source that came included though.

Sounds like a troubbeling power source. Maybe you have some audio sources plugged into the same slot? It can generate interference. Try moving the dock to another wall socket.

i wanna ask you about this cradle. i've bought it almost 6 months ago. it works good in time it causes my phone's usb slot to getting corrupt, i mean slot getting expanded so my phone's original usb cable can't fit into it so i can't recharge.
i don't know how i can fix the problem. is there anybody familiar with this kind of problem?

my crable it works good

If this is the same one I've seen on ebay (the one *with* the audio plug) - description says not good for T-Mobile USA version of the phone. Can anyone confirm this?

so it charges the phone and a extra battery at the same time?

Dell 30 Pin connector to miniUSB block

DELL MINI5 尾插转接成 MicroUSB母口
Seems to be ¥58 RMB + ¥12/25 shipping, which is approx
$10.99 - 13.00 each.
Taobao is similar to amazon as a web store, it doesnt ship outside china though.
It's a 30 pin dock connector on one end and a mini usb port on the other end, so you can use any old mini usb cable on it. (like most phones) It's MINI usb and not MICRO as used on very new phones.
Seems to use the same connector head as the otg cable one, might be the same manufacturer of the heads.
Dell should have made official ones themselves, the stock cable is redicilious as it's essentially propriatary. This is most true for being on the road when you need to charge, you need both the cable and a charger with an actual port. Buying a charger with a 30 pin dock connector built in means that it's tied to the s5/7. With this you can use and old microUSB charger.
Quick facts:
The Streak does NOT use the PDMI connector standard. It merely uses the same head and SOME of the same pinouts. There are no devices out that use standardized PDMI. Dell internally refers to it as the '30 pin dock connector'
This should work on the s5 and s7 as they use the same dock connector, wont work on the s10 as it uses a different 40 pin connector.

Nice idea but to my mind six months too late, Streak leads are now widely available and cheap to buy. I don't see their being enough of a market for this new adaptor for it to sell.

There's enough of a market in china to make these, as that's where these are being sold. The streak is only half a year old or so in china.
It IS late everywhere else though, they could have made them much earlier and destined for export. There's plenty of other random accessories like cases that have done this, and normal dock cables.
Regardless i'd like one myself, my streak will still be usable for quite a while. It's not gonna magically stop working or anything any time soon.

Can you post a pic of yours, or possibly what a pin out might be.

I would buy at least one of these if there were some way to get the seller to ship to the US...

What we really need is a 30-pin (pdmi?) connector to hdmi.
I'm gonna (hopefully) use my ds5 for another year before I change to one that has proper hdmi out.
Sidenote, I just learn about QuickPic yesterday ... and it makes my ds5 all that much more usable!

it's sad that the connector is specialized for DS5. Hope my original usb cable won't break..

I actually just picked up a DS5 charge/sync cable on ebay from a US seller cheap ($6.95/ free ship) for anyone in the states that's interested. Descent quality, nowhere near factory quality, but what I expected for the money. Great as a backup charger.

USB-OTG microSD adapter

I wanted an adapter that plugged in to the micro USB port with OTG capability & just had a microSD slot on the other end. However, I couldn't find one, so I set out to make one. I took an micro USB to USB adapter and modified it to be OTG capable and then plugged in the smallest USB microSD adapter I could find. Now I have a nice little adapter that I can plug in without having it flopping around like a tail on the end of a cable. Just thought I'd share my project.
I used information from this page to hook up the wiring correctly:

Does anyone have the balls to try to make a y-cable and test it?
Head 1: MicroUSB for tablet.
- All cables connected with ID connected to ground for OTG.
Head 2: Female USB (power only)
- Only black and red power cables connected.
Head 3: Female USB (power and data)
- All 4 cables connected
What we hopefully should receive is the possibility to charge the tablet while having storage mounted, plus have the USB devices powered by the power cable instead of the tablet.
I don't have the Nexus 7 myself yet, else i would have tried by now (not available here yet).
I need something like this cause i wan't to replace the screen in my car with this tablet. But since i want to replace the current screen which is mounted inside the dashboard, i wan't to be able to charge while using external storage, since it won't be too easy to tage the tablet in and out all the time.
Question is just if Nexus 7 allow us to use USB as host while charging? If not, could that be kernel related?
Hope someone got the nerves to try this out

Unfortunately there is apparently a several week wait for it.
Delivery: Estimated between Wed. Aug. 8 and Tue. Aug. 21
It appears several of the USB-OTG cables being sold are shipped from Asia and have multi week shipping delays.

You'd need to mess with the kernel to keep it from turning on the Vbus supply and disabling charging while in host mode. Otherwise I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Transcend is a decent name brand at least I think it is. I have memory cards and a flash drive from them that I have had for years that have had no problems

I find transcend to be a really reliable brand as well, never had problems. That is so much cheaper than over here in the UK you chaps are lucky.

Yea. Also when your getting into that size of drive, you'd also want to make sure it is a [REAL] USB3 device with USB3 transfer rates.

clockcycle, Usb 3.0 has been Referred to as USB3 since when it launched which has caused some confusion but none the less USB3 is here to stay.

You mean USB 3.0? I don't have any devices with USB 3.0 compatibility, not even my Nexus 7.

Well real USB 3.0 flash devices perform faster in a USB 2.0 port. This is because they use a faster flash memory controller and the data transfer rates are generally higher even compared to their 2.0 counterparts. I see the difference when using Windows 8 To Go on a USB 3.0 stick vs 2.0.

Yes it will. A USB 3 key has 9 contacts, but is otherwise identical to a USB 2 key. It will fit. Not only that, they are backwards compatible electrically speaking.

Have this in the 32gb version. Works great. Also both of my USB 3 drives work just fine using a standard micro to USB adapter.

Hi. I don't like to be that guy who revives threads, but I need to know if anyone else had purchased the 64GB flash drive in this thread...
I purchased it without thinking it through (I saw that a member with 1.3K posts and was a relatively active member on these forums, so I figured the site was legit) and I believe I may have been scammed $30.
While it has only been 3 business days (generally enough time for something to be delivered via USPS), there have been reports of them not providing correct USPS tracking numbers. In my case, this has happened to me, and I fear that I may not be able to recover my money.
I sent them a message and I'll be waiting to see if I get a package today or Monday.
I didn't Google the supplier like I should have, which is unfortunate. I'll probably be out $30 because of this.
Thanks,
Larkable
