Cut the Cord

Posted January 08, 2008 8:07 AM

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Motion Control Components, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Motion Control Components today.

Looks great, and the concept is good, but I don't see much on their website to indicate what devices it is actually compatible with. The only talk about the Moto RAZR and the iPod (coming soon) although they do show what looks like a Blackberry in one of the pictures.
