Not a chance, ipod is way better.

Festivalnut, any problems sampling the dsp output and encapsulating it into fixed format 'link' udp packets to send to the ijack? or excuse my lack of knowledge on the software on my own phone, perhaps grab the data before the dsp and recode to fixed codec?

multicodec support on the ijack module will make it expensive, I want it cheap.

well the functionality for skip/reverse etc is already there in bluetooth, bluetooth dongles are tiny and ten a penny these days, so the trick is really making a box to convert bluetooth signals to ipod jack pin-outs (i think!)

Watch this space, you could have full Wireless ijack support :)

Phone apple up and ask when they'll be offering that one lol

But you're totally correct today. just maybe not in a few weeks time

lmao i'd already wrote my last reply before i read this, if i had read it first the reply would've been more like "uhhhh.... pass!"

sorry you're way outta my league now! :(

but the bluetooth box approach i still think is a definate winner, if you're using a bluetooth standards supporting box then the commercial viability is awesome! but something tells me apple will have something to say about it...

Before anyone mentions it, I know none of this exists yet, but overclocking a N900 was laughed at to start with, along with 'who would want to send sms text messages' when mobiles got invented lol :)

I was thinking the same about wireless ethernet; for things like older gaming consoles or various Internet-enabled TVs, which obviously wouldn't work with traditional USB adapters.

And that's some serious flame bait right there.

Not if I don't turn it into a commercial product, doubt they can say a word if I publish the design and build details on a website for free public domain access

:)

I could sue them I suppose if they used the idea to create a commercial product lol. But being serious I just want one, I want the software to drive it in the repositories and the hardware details as public knowledge.

Mods, please advise if you think I'm treading on dangerous ground. I think GPL comes into play but I'm not a lawyer
