Adapter to use charge and use headset at the same time?

[b2thrill]

Are there any adapters/gadgets so I can use my wired headset and charge my kaiser using the mini-usb plug at the same time.

I would like to watch my slingbox player using the headset, but I also watch to charge the unit at the same time. Is this possible?

Yeah, there's a Y-cable available. Mobileplanet/Expansys sells it, so does XDA Store. The AT&T 8525 came with the Y adapter, Tilt does not. :(

Mobileplanet's prices are pretty steep - Around twice that of XDA store even if you don't have an XDA Store member discount. XDA Store doesn't have a good headphone adapter though, just a "brick" one, not a right-angle-short-cable one.

Are there any vendors that carry both the Y-adapter and a "cable" style 3.5mm adapter?

The 8525 one is of poor design. The L-plug that the headphones have interfere with being able to plug in the power...it needs to be shoved in there.

Checking around yesterday, found the 8525-style Y splitter available under $20, and the HTC 3-in-1 even better approach, with total shipped prices varying, that does mini-usb, 3.5mm audio, and that HTC ExUsb 11 pin mini (so you can hang this adapter off your wired stereo headset with mic and remote controls) and still have stereo on a 3.5mm jacked out to a line in, and charge with the other mini usb jack. Both available yesterday from the HTCStore.
