Comments on: When hackers unite: Creating hardware to hook a microphone to a mobile phone http://conversations.nokia.com/2008/05/06/when-hackers-unite-creating-hardware-to-hook-a-microphone-to-a-mobile-phone/ Stories from around the Nokia neighbourhood Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:47:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: mobilejones http://conversations.nokia.com/2008/05/06/when-hackers-unite-creating-hardware-to-hook-a-microphone-to-a-mobile-phone/comment-page-1/#comment-93 mobilejones Wed, 14 May 2008 20:06:34 +0000 http://conversations.nokia.com/?p=63#comment-93 As more people take up creating their own videos and the popularity of live streaming video services grow, there could be a market for a handy single cable. Mike Arrington streamed the Google's Friend Connect event using Qik. http://tinyurl.com/3mpuow I made the switch to Qik immediately following CTIA. The next step is expanding battery capability. Scoble carries a large external battery, but he hasn't posted any details on the battery or it's connection to the N95, yet. I know that Black and Decker make a large portable battery and I have the one featured in the Reuters kit. Watch for more on battery options.

Here's the thing: I'm working on my PhD in engineering, and I wandered off to play with something shiny after looking at those specs for 15 seconds. That is a whole lotta stuff your average MoJo doesn't need (or want) to know. We're really better off just buying the $7 worth of connecters from Radio Shack. If you want a dedicated cable from which you can cut the superfluous red & white cables, that's easy enough too. Ha, yeah, I saw the link to the Nokia specs from some commenter yesterday morning.
