Guest fluffcat1 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 In an earlier thread I mention I'd seen a USB enabled Hitachi stereo in DSG for £69.99 that allows you to browse and playback files stored on an mp3 / flash drive, and wondered if a bog standard smartphone would work with this feature. http://www.modaco.com/Using_a_smartphone_t...eo-t234445.html Haven't tried it yet... But playing with my i300 today I had a thought - this i300 has a 'usb mode' where the drive appears as a 3gb flash disk. In theory, this should allow the phone to act as a source of mp3's for these USB stereos even if a normal smartphone cannot ;) How cool is that? May well have to pop and buy one just to try this out.

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Should plug straight into an XBox 360 to play tunes too ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm tempted by one of those car stereos that can play USB sticks... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fluffcat1 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm tempted by one of those car stereos that can play USB sticks... P £49 quid too! FORTY NINE QUID! And it plays SD cards. If only I didn't have an Alpine 7" MD screen w/dvd nav, DVD changer, mp3 changer, TV tuner, Ps2 slim and ipod connection I'd buy one like a shot. I've paid more than £49 for a @*&%$£ Alpine cable. :evil: Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fluffcat1 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 £49? Where? From t'other thread: Tevion car stereo: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...item=5849238072 Don't bid it too high, it was only 49.99 in aldi a couple of weeks ago ( not that I shop there :oops: - but they have silly low prices on stuff every thursday ) and your local branch may still have one. Richard They're all over ebay at £60 or so B-I-N prices, but check with your local Aldi frist as then you'll get a warranty. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
