recharge visor via USB like iPOD

I was curious that iPod from macintosh had a technology of recharging their device via the ipod usb I wanted to know if it was possible to have the visor recharge the same way

any ideas?

Ron

iPod uses a technology known as IEEE 1394 (AKA iLink or Firewire). USB does have electricity going through it and can power some devices however it would probably be kinda slow charging a Prism or Pro.

firewire

In that case if it's a ieee system (instread of the usb) then can a module be created so that I can recharge my visor instread of plugging it in when I am mobile

In this way I wouldn't mind just recharging one device like my laptop instread of multiple devices

IEEE is a term used for the organization that declares the standards for these things. The 1394 is important.

IEEE 802.11b is the same as WiFi
IEEE 1394 is FireWire/iLink

So people won't know what you say if you say IEEE. Just an FYI and now you can say you learned something today .

As far as the the Visor I don't know. I do not think its possible unless you want to go in and do some modding under the hood. But I do not have the expertise in that...other people here would be better suited to help you with that. I think it has been done before.

ahhhhh

ok I found out i'm a lazy butt (= I had to put 1394 at the end of ieee

I wanted to have a device that can charge my cell phone, visor and other devices with out chargeing multiple batteries... this way I can charge ONLY my portable computer then transfer the power to my other devices that would be cool

ok thanks

Ron

This is actualyl possible. Check out these USB chargers.

The iBiz is $20 cheaper, but it is harder to find. The Targus one is avaible right now from Amazon. [Direct link to product - supports VisorCentral!]
