count me in also,
[Streak 5 Accessories] gregianos:
Sounds great. Any idea of price at this point?

Swyped using XDA App
[Streak 5 Accessories] ramtix:
It would be nice to have an AV dock that also will compete with the official Dell's than getting a Slacker G2 that isn't made for the Streak
[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:
+1 If the price is right and they work, I'm interested.
[Streak 5 Accessories] rhart729:
Thanks for the post!

I'd be interested as well.
[Streak 5 Accessories] gasolara2002:
Tag me in for 4 of them
[Streak 5 Accessories] VinceT3:
very cool.. I sucked it up and ordered an extra cable, car dock, and slacker dock.. but I might consider getting an spare in case I lose one or the one in my car finally breaks..
[Streak 5 Accessories] gstyle40:
i would definitely buy 2 if price is right and it works
[Streak 5 Accessories] bel4_20:
+ 1 ill be in for a few for sure
[Streak 5 Accessories] nickexperience:
I'll definitely take one if the quality is good.
[Streak 5 Accessories] satanix:
+1 for sure! :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] joihan777:

PS- Make an PDMI to Apple iPod adapter and you'll do well. That way I can pop my Streak on an iPod desktop speaker without mucking about.
[Streak 5 Accessories] subvecto:
+1 for 1 :-)
[Streak 5 Accessories] ramtix:
thats a great Idea..with all the those 3rd party Icrap accessories available , we can take advantage of it if there is a PDMI to Ipod/Iphone adapter.
[Streak 5 Accessories] yasir_jan87:
I will get 2 when available.
[Streak 5 Accessories] rafynet:

Sigh...

Feb. 14th is the date Dell just emailed me to tell me is now my new "adjusted" shipping date for the order I placed on January freaking 24th for $43.38 for 2 cables! I've NEVER in my life had to wait this long for something to ship, especially for freaking cables! They should have millions in stock! Anyway...

I'll prolly buy 1 or 2 of these cables if they're good.

Will these be longer than the 6 inch long (or should that be short?) cables Dell provides? Too short to plug into my USB port on my PC, too short to charge in my car while talking. Poor design, poor design... Dell really fell short on this phone and its accessories and advertising. I LOVE the phone, but come on...
[Streak 5 Accessories] marksomeone:
I'd be in for an order of at least 2 also!

I also love the suggestion of a PDMI -> iPod/iPhone connector/bridge.

Ideally it could stretch across the whole bottom of the streak (or at least the width of an iPod/iPhone) the so that the streak would sit flush with any idocks.
[Streak 5 Accessories] mancterrier:

[Streak 5 Accessories] sukemecuke:
need to know price, but I'd prolly be in for 2 or so. Need one for the office and one for the car.

[Streak 5 Accessories] togril:
I'll get a few!

Here in Australia we can't even get a screen protector pre cut.

Or ANYTHING from the Dell.au site. I was going top order from UK and get it resent via friend there.

Anyone on this forum making 3rd party cables, docks etc get's my support, because Dell sure as hell aren't supporting me, the person who gives them money.
[Streak 5 Accessories] okayokayokay:
2 for me. We really need an alternative.
[Streak 5 Accessories] bel4_20:
any update yet on these cables?:o
[Streak 5 Accessories] RavenY2K3:
Definitely 2 for me, I dont think your going to be short of customers mate :D
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
As I stated in my original post, the sample won't even be sent out until Feb 14th, after the Chinese New Year... all the factories/etc. shut down for approx 2 weeks in early Feb. I will update as soon as I can :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] carhigh:
I would be in for a couple as long as they are cheap
[Streak 5 Accessories] cellopoly:
I would definitely be interested in a couple
[Streak 5 Accessories] emregezgin:
:D

I love this news! Hope they can make some cables.. I need 3 more around :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] BabyJay:
Any price? its a day after the 14th...
[Streak 5 Accessories] over2land:
Two days now. Trust me, I know how it goes... (trying to get molded plastic mounts...) but still, any update?
[Streak 5 Accessories] carhigh:
Shipped the 14th? That means it will take 2 weeks to get them to you in the us
[Streak 5 Accessories] refthemc:
Any word on these cables? I'd really like one
[Streak 5 Accessories] MySeLfPT:
... ?

tapatalk @ Dell Streak
[Streak 5 Accessories] Donnelljr:
need 2

I need 2, what else are the PDMI cables used for, no other device on earth huh?
[Streak 5 Accessories] jlmoon:
I also would be interested.

Just got my AT&T affiliated streak from best buy and am now using the Dell official 2.2. Love the device!
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Sample cables are on their way to me currently. It did take a couple of extra days, unfortunately, to get them shipped. I did get pictures before they shipped them out though :) They are approximately 95cm in length. Hopefuly they work as well as they look...
[Streak 5 Accessories] VinceT3:
is it wrong that I want one so I can rip it open and add an audio out off that cable so I dont have to plug in two cables when I'm in the car :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] vanemburghj:
Any idea on cost per unit?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Not yet, as there are many factors. Of course quantity is going to determine quite a bit, but also have to figure in what amount of risk I want to take....as I would have to buy the qty upfront. (5,000 peeps say they are interested, then only 120 buy...lol) Not a big problem, as I do this all the time with lots of things. I just didn't want to delve into all the time pursuing it until I have confirmation that the cables work, from doing it myself :)

They will most certainly be less than the Dell stanglehold on us, currently. When I do price them out, the pricing will be inclusive (will include shippping).
[Streak 5 Accessories] Ludespeed:
Just wanted to say I'm interested as well; dell's cables are a ripoff!
[Streak 5 Accessories] oxbeast1210:
cables

Im also in for 3 if the price is right

Just bought two of these today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/6ft-LONG-USB-Da...363?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a56ccb23

Guess the third party cables finally arrived?
[Streak 5 Accessories] carhigh:
thanks for the link. just ordered a couple myself
[Streak 5 Accessories] bel4_20:
any proof they work? before we start buying these?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Techvir:
Looks like they are selling like hot cakes....
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Well now...lol

I knew I should have started this process a month earlier...Ha. Their delivery date is a couple weeks out (at a minimum)..which will be shortly after I receive my samples. Maybe I'll wait to place an order/decide if it's worth it...until after we have confirmation on these eBay cables (work - don't work). At these kind of price points, not much sense in 15 people trying to sell them.

I will be doing some investigating though, as these suspiciously popped up after I had my samples made. Common practice for entities in China (Hong Kong) to do things like this. :(
[Streak 5 Accessories] tama82:
Waiting for feedbacks b4 I click the buy button.
[Streak 5 Accessories] dunster:
+2 for me too !!
[Streak 5 Accessories] oddbubble:
anyone brought one of the ebay ones yet do they work
[Streak 5 Accessories] cbass:
Mine are on the way. I'll post up the day I get them.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Philip:
I have ordered two (a 1 Foot long one for the car and a 6 Foot long one for PC at work, which sits under my desk).

The auction says that it's $3 shipping for the first cable and $2 for additional ones, but I was charged $6 shipping for the 2. I pointed this out and got an immediate refund and apology from the seller.

Doesn't answer your question about whether they work, but the seller does seem to be OK.

I'll post here if mine arrive before cbass's.
[Streak 5 Accessories] ruben__:
Did you also buy form 'yourcharger'?

I also have ordered the 1ft yesterday so I really hope it does work.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Got my samples in today, and they do work :)

I am waiting to see if these eBay cables work (from you guys), before I decide whether or not to make a bulk order.
[Streak 5 Accessories] kcfarook:
Count me for 2 sets too..! and thanks..
[Streak 5 Accessories] kcfarook:
I would definitely be interested in a couple of them..
[Streak 5 Accessories] Egypt1337:
I would much rather buy your cables because the one from yourchargers is either a 1 foot or 6 foot cable and thats to short/long! And you seem like a cool guy and id rather support you than yourchargers :D put me down for 2!
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Thanks for the kind words. Still waiting to see if "yourchargers" cables work, as many have said "such and such cables/docks will work" to order them and have them fail (not work). I know for sure mine work...

To be honest, I think the chance of me doing this has become quite slim. The biggest reason is pricing. I just got the pricing from the manufacturer, and for me to even come close (because my shipping costs would be much more)...I would have to purchase 5000+ pieces at once. Which is all fine and good, until what I assume is a manufacturer's representative in "yourcharger" lowers his price (which would certainly happen)...then I'm duped, because I would already be selling them for the lowest possible pricing I could.

That being said, if for some reason, these "yourcharger" cables don't work or fall apart...things would certainly change. I am also working on other things, one of which is a iphone (ifail...lol) to PDMI adapter...so that we could use the Streak with the plethora of things out there for the iphone/ipod/etc.

I'm still working under the likely assumption that someone at the manufacturer took my idea, and is now selling these....unfortuantely works that way sometimes. Certainly miraculous that for 9-10 months nothing, then as soon as I get a working sample (from the only manufacturer willing, I believe they are also the OEM for Dell) they suddenly appear on eBay. The only way to avoid reprecussions from Dell is for them to be able to show that someone else has them for sale (me)....then they are off the hook as far as the contract would go....Certainly don't think I'm the only person that wanted these done either, and they did come out right after the Streak 7 came out...so maybe it is just a coincidence.

I do really appreciate someone hijacking my thread, after me putting my own time & money into getting these, and posting up the eBay link instead of starting a new thread. Class act there.
[Streak 5 Accessories] VinceT3:
If you get the ifail to pdmi adapter working I'll order 2 right now.. that would be very convenient with some of the stuff my wife has for her iphone..
[Streak 5 Accessories] emregezgin:
Order?

Where can i place an order? i told that i needed a few and then i will buy them :) And if you can make that ifail adapter i might try to marry you :D

Do you have a web page where i can place an order?
[Streak 5 Accessories] bel4_20:
Do we have a price yet on these cables?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Doctor_Watson:
I also would like a price. I'd buy from you before I bought from ebay.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Is it just me, or have the "yourcharger" eBay cables for the Streak been pushed back two different times (estimated time)????

It now says March 15-22, I know for a fact the dates have changed at least once, but thinking twice...pushing them out later. Hmmm....

Anybody that ordered these receive them yet???

I really want to provide these for our community, but I'm not going to do it and lose lots of money. Right now, just to get them done....I would have to invest a minimum of $6000. This is why I'm being so trepidacious.

The sooner I find out of the "yourcharger" cables actually work/ever get delivered, the sooner I can make a decision to get these done for us or not :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
I would post and let you know my results with the cables I ordered from ebay but I would not want to hijack your thread. Maybe you can find the info in someone else's thread?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Philip:
I ordered mine 8 days ago. They are marked on eBay as "dispatched" but I have not received them (in the UK) yet. The listing does say that they will be dispatched within 2 days of receiving cleared payment.

I appreciate that you feel sore about the amount of work that you have put in to this (I know that I certainly would), but I suspect that it was just a product whose time had come. Every Streak forum has posts from people looking for cheaper cables, so it was only a matter of time before the Chinese manufacturers turned their hand to making these - especially as the newly announced Streak 7 uses the same cable.

As somebody else said, these will probably be down to 99p (or 99c) soon, along with all the Mini and Micro USB cables.
[Streak 5 Accessories] nightworker-nn11:
I definitely love the idea of a iPhone dock / charging adaptor.

I hate to admit it but some of the iPhone docks r really cool N to be able to use them with my streak would be Fab even if I did have to modify them with a little rubber mount at the sides to make it sit securely.

Good luck with the idea N I'll be watching with fingers crossed.
[Streak 5 Accessories] carhigh:
Stuff usually takes 2 weeks to get to me from China or Hong Cong. Might be the end of the week
[Streak 5 Accessories] over2land:
As for me, a one foot cable is near useless for me, and a 6 foot would be good only in the house or at work. For the Jeeps I'd need stock length cables... one for each Jeep.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Or you could just apologize, instead of being a smartass prick about it. Where would I find this info in someone else's imaginary thread? Oh, I wouldn't..cause you just inserted the (your) info into this one....

The rudeness is already here, might as well post about how it turns out.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Oh believe me, I'm not sore someone else is selling them (assuming they work)... it's about damn time. I import things from overseas all day long, so it was just a matter of using my contacts, a little legwork, and some $. It was just the insertion of a link to another party, instead of him starting a new thread, that irked me a bit. That was classless, IMO.

No different than someone posting their car for sale in a thread (car forum obviously)... and some moron posting his same model car for sale in that person's thread, instead of starting/paying for his own thread/advertising.... then they add insult to injury when called out, by making smartass comments.

[Streak 5 Accessories] evastorm:
I got mine a few days earlier... they work well. im actually getting tired of bringing my cable to/from work so i'll be keeping the shorter oem one at my workplace.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Nomgle:
They're standard usb cables - if you want to make them longer then just use a usb extension lead...
[Streak 5 Accessories] carhigh:
I have a 1 foot USB extension cable and woke up one morning and my phone wasn't charged. I don't use it anymore.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Philip:
Mine arrived (in the UK) today - a 30cm and a 2m - 9 days after I paid for them.

They appear to be well made - strain relief on the cables where they enter the plugs, and the plugs at either end seem to be of good quality, fitting well at both the USB and Streak ends.

They charge the Streak and allow me to transfer files from my PC.
[Streak 5 Accessories] over2land:
That's just more junk to buy and tote around.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Thanks, that is the info I (and others) was looking for.

I will redirect my efforts towards the Streak/iFail adapter(s) then....lol

Now, being that there are so many different products for the iFail, making one type of adapter would be difficult, especially one that would allow the Streak to "sit" as in the radio type speaker docks. Thinking maybe the best bet (at least to begin with) would be a very short cable with the proprietary connectors on each end. What do you guys think?
[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:
Length is difficult as sometimes it's easier to have it longer and wrapped out the way than making it too short which can be more awkward. Sorry, that wasn't very constructive! I guess I'm trying to say don't make it too short, esp if the Streak won't sit "in" some docks and so needs some other workaround.

Maybe we just need a set of PDMI and iFail adapters that fit onto normal USB/ mini usb cables so we can use the cables we have. I have no idea if that would work in practice, but I was thinking of my laptop converter that works with every brand (except DELL of course!) and those mobile phone chargers with lots of different cable ends...
[Streak 5 Accessories] Alexruthless:
I'm interested
[Streak 5 Accessories] kalkanisvec:
My cable arived today,it was ordered from yourcharger

And its working .
[Streak 5 Accessories] ruben__:
I can second that. Ordered on 28-02 and it arrived today 09-03. The cable itself is not as thick as the original but it does work just as well (usb charging / transfer).
[Streak 5 Accessories] shinydesert:
I've just got mine,I bought a couple of cords,they aren't as thick as the Dell one by they work as well as the original ones.

Here are you are some pics.
[Streak 5 Accessories] BlueBagodah:
Just ordered 2 from 'yourcharger' on eBay. I hope they arrive soon.

I'd also be very interested in a PDMI-iFail adapter cable. There's too many iAccessories out there for them all to be garbage. ;)
[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
anyone have experience with the retractable one?
[Streak 5 Accessories] joihan777:
The joy of having, say, a mini boombox is you can prop the iThingy on top so that it faces you while it's being used.

PDMI-to-iThingy connector cable would simply pass audio signal & supply DC current. To use the Streak it'd be best to have said cable AND include a discreet by sturdy little prop (white plastic even) that's an inch high to allow room for cable to curve under.

Better yet, a real stand with an integrated rear PDMI port that would accept the PDMI-to-iThingy cable would be the **cat's meow**!
[Streak 5 Accessories] ruben__:
Or....

I have a old Palm cradle laying around and the opening for the connector isn't made for the PDMI but that can be fixed :D

But, isn't it just easier to buy a cheap dock (just for the stand), replace the cable with a 2ft usb - PDMI?

option 1?

option 2 (palm cradle)
[Streak 5 Accessories] sejtam:
I ordered mine, they are supposedly shipped on 1st March but have not yet arrived..
[Streak 5 Accessories] cbass:
I ordered on Feb 25th, got the shipping email on the 27th, estimated delivery was Mar 8th-15th. It is now the 14th and I have yet to see them. If I don't see them by the end of the week, I'll start asking questions to the seller.

So far, every step of the way, I would rather pay a member of the community. But this was less than $20 on an experiment, so I'm not too broken up if they never show up or if they don't work.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
You are correct, it would be the ultimate! However, not ever accessory is the same, so the size of this "dock/stand" would not work with everything (sit in/on). The easiest, fastest, solution is to make the adpater...then let people find what works for them (integrate their own dock for their particular accessories, etc.) IMO.

That is not to say that a dock made specifically for us (dell streaks) is not in the works too..lol (maybe this is what you meant?)

The long one for home use

Short one is good to carry it with me all the time when i go out .
[Streak 5 Accessories] nightworker-nn11:
I've had my streak since day 1 of UK launch. It's great to see the cheap cables now come out, I had bought the official ones and was annoyed at how short the cable was so what I did was just buy USB to USB extender cables, got a 6 meter one N it is perfect.
[Streak 5 Accessories] TooMuchFace:
Anybody have photos of one of these PDMI connectors opened up? I'd like to see the connecitons (and how easy or hard it might be to solder to).

Thanks.
[Streak 5 Accessories] vasishta.sushant:
Did anyone thought of modding this one ?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Desktop-Dock-Ca...957642?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aa97a804a

Since Galxy tab uses a modified PDMI connector, the form factor of that dock would be the same. If someone could just replace that modified PDMI with Dell's original PDMI cable, things will be really simplified.
[Streak 5 Accessories] joihan777:
Bought this one two weeks ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...8179363&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_922

It came a few days ago. I leave this at home and use the original Dell cable in the car. Perfect setup so far. The HK cable from yourcharger works perfectly. My only niggle is there's no "this side up" logo on the connector so you have to look at the two slide grooves to see which way it connects. Time for a sticker....

They also have one without the cord if you don't like charging in the car for some strange reason.
[Streak 5 Accessories] vanemburghj:
Went with different mount

Personally don't like looking down to see my nav, I mount right next to rear view mirror. With that set up you are doing to look down, I went with universal mount and the 6 foot cable from EBay to my car charger, works like a charm. If you are cool with having to look down to see your nav, than that mount seems to be the answer, like the fact it gives you another open port to plug something into.

Don’t know what, but as a Man being able to tell the wife, “Babe I had to with this one, look it has spare port to charge something and other cool stuff” and the second she rolls her eyes makes that purchase worth it…….
[Streak 5 Accessories] mid_life_crisis:
For me, the only time I need the nav is when the family takes a trip and that's in the wife's truck, which has lighter and power ports high enough that the unit would end up just about dash level, which is pretty good for me. In my car it's a juke box and once I start it playing, I don't have to look at it again.

If I want it up high, a long cord and a couple of large rubber bands and it's mounted to the visor.
[Streak 5 Accessories] cbodom:
thank you!

a good forum >> google :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Theoriginalgiga:
Hey this is a great thread! the links here have kept me from paying $15 a cable! Thanks all. I'd be so interested in seeing an Ipod to either USB or to streak plug. I did find this...

http://www.cablejive.com/products/dockXtender.html

though it's an extender, there's a female ipod connector on one end. I'm assuming after mapping the wiring, it wouldn't be too hard to wire in a streak end to it. that's more of a DIY than a production thing, but it might help in your process.

Additionally I found this...

http://www.cablejive.com/universal-dock-converter

that plus a custom dock (to sit the streak in) with a male usb and 1/8" audio plug and youd have your connection.

Just a couple thoughts to ponder on.

Also for the female to mini usb to female USB A, I found that http://www.meritline.com has a lot of odds and ends and they may have something.
