5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
But building an adaptor to allow the use of CF cards in place of a full-sized iPod's hard drive was a more serious matter. The project took him four days including "countless hours" to hand-solder 88 connections onto two connectors. For those lacking the requisite skills, Hoekstra is planning to have his adaptor manufactured, turning the conversion into a relatively simple task. With the adaptor, a first to fourth-generation iPod can be upgraded with a CF card providing up to 128G of storage. Apart from the extra capacity, the flash drives are easier on the battery, less prone to mechanical damage, and a bit lighter. Read the full story at Hoekstra's Geek Technique web site and, if you wish, register your interest in the adaptor.{moscomment} |
