optical looking audio plug?

Ok my Mac Mini of all sorts had an Optical out port that almost exactly like the Headphone jack port on my phone, (black dot at the bottom of the headphone jack) So I'm wondering if it's a feature not mentioned but I couldn't find anything in the tear downs of the phone.
I know it seems silly and like a power hog option but was wondering..
picture of the said cable type that would be used.

what would you even plan on doing with that? plugging an audio out from a computer into a phone seems incredibly pointless.

I do agree unless you are a dj and have the nexus one or a 5000 sound system and want perfect clarity.
like I said seems silly but from the looks of the plug it could be one.

A500 USB port and ps2 keyboard?

I have a funny setup - love it, actually... I am using a A200 right now and as luck would have it, my 20+ year old buckling spring IBM tank PS2 keyboard works perfectly via the active ps2/usb adapter into the USB port, right out of the box. I haven't seen many tablets with full sized USB ports, but I do see the A500 has it and I assume it should also drive the usb adapter since the A200 does fine. Can anyone confirm that? I dig being able to use my ancient mechanical clicky key keyboard with a newer tab - but would like a little more hot speced tab.

Transformer TF101 3G mod

hi peeps, ok, So I got the TF101 with the dock, and just got a 3g internet dongle. Now I want to open the dongle and fit it permanently inside the keyboard case.
Now Looking at the pictures from both the dongle and the open keyboard dock, it looks like it should be possible to mount the 3g dongle inside and run 4 wires from the dongle usb connector to the 4 pins on the USB port on the transformer.
Please can someone let me know if this will work or is there more to it??
Please see the ref pics.

Keep on going man...

[Help][Slimport]Why this combination dont work? Slimport + VGA-Adapter

I bought a Slimport adapter and tried to get it working together with my VGA-HDMI adapter to use my Nexus 4 on my computer screen.
I've plugged the Slimport adapter into my nexus 4 and connected the charger to the slimport adapter.
Then I plugged the HDMI to VGA adapter into the slimport adapter and the VGA-cable into the HDMI to VGA adapter.
Now I dont get a picture on my computer screen.
It doesnt matter which ROM i use, it dosnt work with stock 4.4 nor with omni and the Android L developer preview also dont work.
For now theres no chance for me to test the adapter with an TV that suports VGA because my household dont own one.
Please help me if you can

[Q] Camera flex cable (tiny) extension

Hi
I bought and disassembled a nexus 7 recently for a design project I am developing.
I was hoping to play around with the position of the front camera (an inch or so). I knew the flex cable was short but I thought finding an extension cable would be easy.
Turns out it isn't.
I wanted to ask if anyone here knows if there are extensions cables available for the camera connector used in nexus 7?
I found MANY "test cables" for iPhones but unfortunately they use a different connector, and other suggestions I find online all involve the use of microscopic soldering skills (which I don't posses)
Any input would be appreciated
Here's a photo of the connector
