Will the pinout connection details (for 30-pin proprietry connetcor) be made available for 3rd party hardware add-ons? We would like to connect our own hardware and communicate over a serial link, if possible.
Is your information reliable, have Dell actually told you this or is it a guess based on experience? Seems a shame since all pinout details are available for iPhone.
A lot of people think it is PDMI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDMI) The Slacker G2 radio has one. Still waiting for a close up comparison of these two ports (Dell Streak and Slacker G2)
I would not be surprized if someone is already in the process of reverse engineering Streak accessories and they will show up on eBay with the cheap phone stuff.
PDMI supports USB OTG which would be essential for the type of device I want to design, in the absence of more basic serial i/o. Does anyone know if the Streak supports USB OTG (effectively allowing it to become a USB host?)
i too am interested in the USB host capability. I started creating a project with a PDA and elm device, to create a virtual dashboard for my car, and now would like to port that over to the Streak. Not sure about programming in Java though....
