although it may be possible now but i do not know ,
1. is there any winmobile or pocket pc which can act as usb host or not.
2.will it be possible to interface and read ipod 80 gb through that interface of usb and use S2V player (read only- means i can still manage to upload to ipod via winxp if there is no app like winamp or itunes for winmobile yet).
although there might be a possibility of getting a hard drive on winmobile memory by now but usb host functions to read usb pendrive is most important to me right now ,which is why i ask it as i cannot carry laptop everywhere.
also zune might be able to connect wirelessly to winmobile but i do not have one.someone might have tried it with zune too.
concept here is to 1. be able to view videos on ipod (large storage) ,2. to be able to download songs via gprs or wifi to pocket pc or winmobile and then transfer to ipod as external drive. i know its close to impossible but usb pendrive reading or usb harddrive reading should be there ,someone must know.

Is it possible to connect an XDAII t a digital camera to allow me to download images on the move? Or how about connecting to any PC using a USB cable to transfer files, images, etc? I read somewhere theat the XDAII chipset doesn't support this type of connection, is this correct?
No, it's not possible. For any PDA (and our xda, too) the chipset is configured as a slave usb which doesn't allow you to use "normal" usb functions. thats also the reason because activesync exists.
You have a digital camera already in your xda 2, you can transfer files to any pc as long as activesync is installed, just click explore and you can drag and drop. Alernatively you can use a card reader, this will plug into any usb enable pc and allow transferring of files both ways.
I do not think that you can connect it bu usb - probably you need special drivers for it...
99% of htc devices don't support usb host
and can as such only be used by a host
not use other usb devices itself
some things are possible...
With the software WM5torage you can hook up your Hima or any other HTC device to any PC with no Activesync installed and it behaves like any other mass storage device. So if your camera has SD cards you can easily transfer pictures.
If you still use WM2003 on your Hima you can use accessory called Backpack to read CF cards or use a CF to any other card converter.
You can use IR or Bluetooth for wireless control of robots and other devices.
There is also RS232 on the Hima connector.
I plugged in my jam through usb to my xbox360 and its not recognized. i go to media and select music and "portable device" is not available for selection. But when i plug in my ipod through usb "portable device" is there. Do they think this console for people without pda's?

Same prob here, why is it recognising Apple products and not MS stuff ? Someone mail Bill and tell him.
also my portbale usb 2.0 hdd isn't recognized as well when it says it supports it... maybe i have to remove the xbox hdd to get it to work... oh well this is a pda forum not a xbox forum, so you think there ever will be added support for pdas? I still charge my jam off the xbox.
Doesn't the Jam need ActiveSync installed before it can talk to a device?
The IPod will simply show up as a mass storage device like a pen drive.
AFAIK The Jam won't show up as a storage device and need activesync to run it. Although have seen Card Export II which allows you to make your PPC to look like a mass storage device and should allow the xbox to see it.

Xbox360 sees the Exec/Universal fine
I believe the 360 uses the mass storage profile. Check that your device has a SD pulgged in....
You may not ba ble to see your device memory
Is there any type of acc out there that will enable me to connect my M700 to my TV so that I can play movies stored on it?
only a pc i think
devices without the hardware option of external displays well dont have the option of external display
But
How about a digital TV, LCD with DIV-in HDTV etc'?
There might be a way to stream the video into the USB and then convert it to another digital format via DSP, no?
seriously Laron, the quality would be awful.
You'd be better off with a DVD player (maybe one which does DivX) and use some DVD RWs.
In fact you'd be better off with almost anything else!
trinity cant usb host so it cant stream anything into usb
usb are devided into usb hosts and usb peripherals
the later are "brainless" devices which can only be accessed from an usb host like a pc or a pda which support usb host
maybe via bluetooth or wlan?
for example the bluetooth powerpoint presenter.
this software converts a presentation for your pda and the viewer-software on the pda send it via bluetooth to the presenter - and this via vga to the tv, beamer etc...
i only find such bluetooth prsenters, - only for such presentations...
(h**p://www.infrablue.co.uk/)
but i can't find anything for sending the pda-display live to tv, beamter etc...
can anyone help??
dont believe any of the bluetooths stack out for any pda support any of those profiles
and remaking a whole bluetooth stack for wm would prob take a pretty long time
I'm just wondering, is it possible to use a mini USB hard drive such as this one: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...1&cs=19&c=us&l=en&dgc=SS&cid=25682&lid=585550
to extend a phone's memory?
My guess is that it wouldn't work since the hard drive is bus powered. It would probably take some sort of special formatting. But has anyone ever tried this?
Your phone doesn't have USB hosting capabilities. It has to way to run another USB device. I don't think that is ever going to be planned into the development road map of PPCs and Win Mobile.
Also I just don't see why you would want to tether your phone to an external hard drive especially with 8gb+ mini/micro SDs coming to market and the ability to download your desired files from the internet or a VPN on the fly.
What you may see is Wifi and Bluetooth storage devices being wirelessly connected to your phone. It might even be possible now -- can anyone link up with a Zune to their phone via wifi?
some have like flame and Athena
think the main problem is that usb host mean one
have to substain a 500mA output current at 5volt which mean 2.5watt
that would suck a normal phone dry pretty fast

I guess that's a good point about an external hard drive not being needed. You could always run orb or a similar client which basically does the same as hooking up the hard drive. Well, thanks for clarifying anyway.
Hi,
I'm trying to clarify something between Android tablets and iPad's. When you connect an Android tablet (Honeycomb 3.x) to a PC via the supplier's USB cable, you should see some device on your PC running Windows XP that would allow mass USB file transfers.
With an iPad, do you have to have iTunes in order to do file transfers between a Windows machine and the iPad? Does the iPad get natively get recognize by Windows as a mass storage device (or some equivalent) that allows you to move large movie files to it?
Dumb question, but I have no idea, and I'm not sure if others are being anti-apple or not...so just trying to get a fair comparison.
I have an ipad2, goclever i101 tab, motorola XOOM on all of this devices usb connection works great, but on goclever tablet is working and is not working.
