Smile More cool stuff to try!

Possible new stuff for our devices:

Car Charger FM Transmitter for O2/HTC/Dopod with LCD Display
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27058
___not sure if this will work with our android devices, some of the other HTC stuff doesn't, but if it does it'd be nice.

SD to MicroSD/TransFlash Card Converter Module
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27001
___might take some riggin' but sounds like it has possibilities!

I don't have the capability to try either of these (long story, involves an ex and online purchases ), but I'm sure someone either has or is willing to give it a shot!
Device: Black G1
ROM: Cyan's 4.2.3.1

DONATE TO ME
Default Very interesting...

With this oversized battery cover for my extended battery I could see a useful hiding spot for that micro SD to SD converter...

Still not brave enough to disassemble my $300 phone.

I do like the idea of the SD adapter and extended battery and cover. I doubt you'd have to disassemble the phone to pull it off, just shave off a bit of the extended battery cover and route the ribbon cable into it and slap it back together.

Don't know if the dream would support the transfer speeds, but a 150x full size SD would be sweet.

FM transmitter would be nice, except all the frequencies are used up in this area.

Would there be any benefits from having a regular SD card though? I thought that a class 6 microsdhc is just as fast? They're about the same price, too.

That is the question. Class 6 is the highest rating, which is supposed to denote a minimum of 6MB/sec write speed. A Wikipedia article says class 6 = 40x.

Some full size cards claim to be faster than that. Kingston manufactures one that claims 120x speed. I wouldn't expect triple speed, but it would be fun to test.

This is all assuming that the adapter will work, and that the i/o in the phone can keep up.

With a full size SD card you could use a eyefi card.

Ordered one of those ^^^ earlier this week. I'll review it once it comes in.
