 aww ...
 back to bluetooth is it, then.
 at least, the number of small bt receivers available with mic and 3.5  
 jacks increased over the last few weeks ...
   
Really? I'm looking for exactly such a thing some time now ... Can you 
give me a pointer where to find it?

look at amazon's for bt3030 -- that's a receiver from jabra, but amazon  
will show you several others, too.
due to the annoyingly constant lack of metadata consistency at amazon you  
probably have to look at every one just to get links to others, too. there  
are about 15 or 20 models, i think.

motorola usb-3.5-headset: compatibility?

2008-06-29 Thread arne anka
hi,
the other day i saw from motorola an adaptor changing a mini-usb into a  
3.5(?)mm headset jack.
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-3-5mm-Stereo-Audio-Converter/dp/B001A1IKFK/ref=pd_sim_cps_1_img/002-7641246-5084844
does anybody know whether it works with motorola phones only?
if not, it easily could solve the issues with audio jack of the freerunner  
(whose impact i still fail to understand).

afaik yes.
means it only works with motorola devices.
motorola has 8-13 different 'functions' on the 5pin mini-usb-b
connector, including mono headset, stereo headphones out, high and low
voltage programming mode, usb-masstorage, usb-acm, serial debugport and
some others.

but thats only possible since they build them in such massive volumes
that the high initial cost for the custom-asic which contains
pmu+codec+usb-py+serial+mux makes any sense at all.
besides that, i would like to charge or speak ip to my phone while its
playing music, so i do not really favor too much muxing anywhere.

4-ring 3.5mm jack + usb for charging as well as data gives one the
biggest number of reasonable use-case combinations while still keeping
it simple.
after all we do not want bags full of adapters anymore, just because
everybody uses a different plug for the same thing.

 if not, it easily could solve the issues with audio jack of the freerunner  
 (whose impact i still fail to understand).
sadly not. see above.
