Rtek Iphone Controller for Rtek 2.1

due to the nature of USB peripheral devices like the iPhone require a host (normally a PC). If we went USB the the host would have to be built into the rtek (expensive) and on top of that I don't even know if apple give developers access to the USB port.

is a USB host universal though? You can use it across any platform and then port the software to recognize the host? Just out of curiosity how much does a USB host usually cost?

We are currently working on a cross platform design.

I think I paid $20 or more for the cable I had to get for the palm m130, when I could have saved the cost of buying the palm. I would have much rather purchased this cable for $80 to $100.

well I wasn't aware that there was a serial port on the iPhone so thanks for showing me. I'm going to guess you still need a Jailbroken iPhone. But from the poll we ran here showing the most requested platform being a laptop, we will not put time into anything that will lock us into hardware again.

Thats an exciting cable.
I don't have a rtek yet but when I plan on making more power it is definitely the route I'm going to go. Iphone controller would definitely rock, but I'm sure I could deal with a palm 
. Laptop would be pretty cool as well.

USB is a complicated mess with several layers of hardware and software abstraction... It makes writing software for something pretty much guaranteed to be platform dependent.
A Java app could do the trick, most PDA's have a JVM (no idea if it supports the serial port or not) as well as just about every computer OS (Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.) This way also there could be different versions of the screens, one for small devices like Palm or WM or iPhones, and full size ones for PC's.
I've been kind of interested in trying a bluetooth <-> RS232 adapter so i could use my Palm TX's BT instead of relying on a crappy m105 for the car. How hard do you think /that/ one would be to hack into PocketLogger?
