hi
is there such a thing as a mini USB B 5 pin Male to Mini B 5 Pin Male?
i want to attach two devices together that both use these plug types, one is a video source (small spycam, with built in memory), and the other is to watch on (PDA)
i want to be able to watch whilst out and about, so no PC will be available at the time.
cheers

Are you sure you can get USB host drivers for the PDA??
Most PDAs can be USB devices, but not hosts.

Plus, can you get drivers for the spycam for the PDA OS?

i have no idea on both counts, all i want to be able to do is transfer the video file across to the PDA for viewing, i can do it via pc, but as i said i want to be able to do this whilst out

i have looked for teh cable type in question, but have had no succes in finding one.
which is why i asked here.

The reason the PDA has a 5-pin USB mini B is because it's not a host device, it's designed to connect to a computer and not another USB device.
