Anyone tried the SA10 with TJ27. . .?

Okay, so I'm trying to figure out what the heck Sony was thinking when they decided the tj27 would be either an upgrade to the tj25 or a downgrade to the tj37.

The lack of audio capabilities is most interesting. However, Sony solved that problem on MUCH lesser handhelds like the SJ and early T-series by coming up with the SA10 Audio Adapter that plugs into the bottom and gives you remote control of audio functions.

I know that some of you have scoffed at this idea, telling me that the '27 does not have an audio chip or the built-in headphone jack or stereo-quality speaker, but hasn't SOMEBODY tried using the SA10? I'm quite sure the early SJ and T-series didn't have a sound chip did they? If we're getting technical like that, does a PDA actually have to have a 'sound chip' to play mp3's? And the '27 has 6x the processing power of those OS4.1 machines, not to mention OS5.

Seems like it would work! :confused:

I doubt if you could even find one (if they work) ;)

Thanks for the encouragement, DG. . .

I went by my local Fry's Electronics to see if they still had the SA10 that was there my previous visits, but no luck. Anyone else?

hypotheticly: you could decode a mp3 or whatever plain wav and send it outside through the usb lines in th econnector. what you would need is a piece od hardware that will do the rest: d/a changer and amplifier. that would be a sound chip. if you find or write software that is capable to redirect the output for ma nay audio player to that SA10 adapter, then i dont see a reson why it shouldnt work. but imo it would be much easier to find and solder in the missing parts :)
