Hi everyone

One thing that really annoyes me about the xda is that you have to go through a relatively complicated process in order to ascertain who is calling before you decide to answer the phone or reject it. So I've been wondering about an accessory that could change all that.

Since the xda2 has an I/O port (formally usb), wouldn't it be great if there was a way to hook up a small lcd display to a usb cord that could allow users to find out whose calling. It could be extended to become a fully functioning remote control for the xda / 2 including dialing numbers, selecting different mp3's etc.

Many thanks for reading

usb devices is devided up into master and slaves
himalaya and the rest (even though there were mixed answers about universal) are slaves and cant init connections to other usb slaves and masters

but the button connector in the himalay also have a old serial port type of connection which can init connection
and then there is the SDIO card interface where only the SD card manufactors set the limit what what you can do (within reason)
