Video Out and Charging??

[TheSultan]

So, when the video out is being used on the Incredible how can be charged? If I'm watching a video on the phone using a TV as the screen...I highly doubt I could make it through a whole movie before the battery dies.

The cable that was used in the wirefly video is listed here:

There is a port on the usb side of the cable to plug your charging cable into.

i saw that video a few days ago, but i still only see one cable. So, the video cable itself has a port that you plug a charging cable in to??

Older HTC models such as the touch (vogue) have shipped with Y type cables also. One end is a microUSB that plugs into the device and the opposite end has dual micro usb ports for say a charger and a headphones, ect. The incredible has a 3.5 mm audio jack so theres no need to use one of the microUSBs for headphones.

This is the one that came with the HTC Touch (vogue)... http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-Headset...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35a8ac526a

Yeah, if you look @ the thread abt the wirefly video from yesterday, someone gave a link to a cable & you can clearly see the charging port in the picture.
