Apple MagSafe to 30 pin Adapter

044/365

This could be used to dually charge any MacBook, iPod (less the shuffle), iPhone or iPad from the same brick charger. The user simply snaps the female-MagSafe-to-male-30-pin adapter to the existing male MageSafe connector extending from the brick charger to charge any Apple device.


Note: I'm not sure if this will work because of the power consumption needed for a MacBook as opposed to the other devices.

Female 30 pin to 3.5mm mic line

026/365

This invention is for all those people who bought a peripheral device to play music with your iPod/iPhone who no long use an iPod/iPhone. Today's your lucky day! Grab that peripheral device out of the garbage or the attic and dust it off. I introduce to you for your listening pleasure, a piece of hardware that will change your life in so many ways, the Female 30 Pin Adapter to 3.5mm Mic Line Jack!



Okay, so the name needs a little work. Here's how it works, plug the female end into the device you use to plug your iPod or iPhone into then plug the other end into any device with a 3.5mm mic line (headphone jack). Voila.

iPhone to iPhone Wired Connect

025/365

I'm surprised no one has made an app or game or anything that requires two iPhones to be connected to each other with the 30 pin adaptor. I'm sure Apple has nixed that idea but why haven't the boys (and girls) of Cydia developed anything of this sort? Anything would be possible, for example: sharing a charge, transferring data, sharing media or even the first-ever iPhone nunchucks.

One drawback is that after preforming a simple google search doesn't seem that this hardware is being sold. Obviously that's because no one has a need for a male 30 pin to male 30 pin yet but that's not to say that a wiring diagram isn't out there.

This seems like one of those situations where supply does not meet demand because there is no demand being made. If a Cydia developer writes any of the subsequent examples any wiring company will jump on the chance to make the hardware. In the meantime early adopters will make their own.

Here are some ideas for developers:
  • Share battery life between Apple devises.
  • Data Transfer
  • Media Sharing (video, audio, books)
  • Gaming
  • Synced Processes
  • Share Video Timecode
  • Sync iPhone to iPad (my favorite)
