Flash Drive Experiment

Wow, I never even thought of that.  Please let us know what happens.

I used to use (sometimes still do) a converter to convert it to different formats / sizes. I don't watch videos much on the phone any more, just thought it great to have while traveling. (Otherwise I use an Archos pvr).

I believe however, that TCMP has more working codecs than WMP.

I'll will keep you all updated, thanks for the interest!

If this doesn't work out, back to using Orb.

Today, my usb adapter arrived. Joy!

The phone I'm using is a HTC Touch Diamond, since it does not have a removable storage card.

So first I hooked up straight to the flash thumb drive. My thumb drive glows when it's plugged in / drawing power.

Result: It did not glow. It did not show up in the File Explorer on the phone.

Then I hooked up my Archos PVR to it. When the pvr recognizes a usb connection, it goes into sync/hard drive mode.

Result: Neither the PVR nor th phone knew they were connected to each other.

I haven't hooked it up to the phones dual dongle yet, so it could be charged while connected, but I doubt it will change the results.

Conclusion: The experiment was a FAIL.

I believe, if it is possible to overcome the power issue, it would still need some sort of driver to allow for the INPUT of a secondary drive (that's why the computer files don't show up on the phone).

Thanks all who've followed my experiment. At least we can say: It's been tried.
