Need remote control for headphones - Touch HD Accessories

Dear all,
I am absolutely looking for a cable headphone remote control for my Blackstone. The E100 headset does not work and I do not want to use a bluetooth headset as I want to avoid as much radiation as possible.
Do you know a compatible headset with remote control for the music player?
Thanks!

What you are looking for doesn't exist, and you could have really searched this forum before asking this question.
And you are kidding about the radiation thing, aren't you?

Ok, does anyone know, if HTC is going to release something like that?

Certainly I'm not. The Federal Ministry of Health have published a paper in collaboration with some universities, showing that the daily radiation that we are exposed to, provokes health damages. Well, I think, that's nothing suprising - and we are exposed to radiation all day - so, in my opinion, we should reduce it as much as possible.
That's why I am really angry that there is no such thing as a cable remote control, as it exists (E100) but not usable with the expensive Touch HD. So where's the problem? Why not making it compatible with the Touch HD? I do not see any reason.

The problem is lack of audio in the extUSB jack. It's all going to a much easier marketed 3.5 one.

I don't want to start a flame war, but just by carrying a phone you're exposing yourself to several times more radiation than a bluetooth headset could possibly emit. Here's a quick article on BusinessWeek:
But because it's a good idea to err on the side of caution in such matters, regulatory bodies have set exposure standards. These are expressed in terms of the "specific absorption rate" (SAR), which attempts to measure the radiation actually reaching body tissue. The U.S. and Canadian governments have set a maximum SAR of 1.6 watts per kilogram, while the European Union permits a slightly higher level.
"INSIGNIFICANT BY COMPARISON." In the real world, emissions generally stay well below the maximum allowed. According to data from BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion (RIMM ), SARs for GSM BlackBerry devices (those sold by Cingular and T-Mobile in the U.S.) fall in the range of 0.25 watts per kilogram when used at your ear.
Bluetooth radios operate at much lower power levels than phones so, not surprisingly, the radiation added by a Bluetooth headset is insignificant by comparison. A study by William G. Scanlon of Queen's University in Belfast found that a typical Ericsson (ERICY ) Bluetooth radio module generates an SAR of just 0.001 watts per kilogram.
So, if you're worried about the health impact of radio waves, remember that the phone itself is a much greater source of concern than a Bluetooth headset. That's especially true because, when you're using Bluetooth, the BlackBerry is likely positioned much farther from your body -- and especially your brain -- than when holding the phone up to your ear.

There are bluetooth units with available that hang around your neck and into which you plug your headphones, like this Jabra unit. This would mean that the only radiation is at your chest and not next to your brain. Perhaps that might be a solution?

No problem, thanks for the link. Well, I'm aware of that and I know that we are exposed to radiation even if I go by train. But: You do not have to expose yourself to even more radiation if it is not really necessary and not making it possible to use the E100 cable rc is not necessary!

Yes, I've seen this one. But same problem. I really would prefer a cable rc.
I thought, perhaps it is just a software issue, that the sound is sent to the 3,5mm jack...

regardless of radiation that and wifi this and stardust that
the only thing certain in life that needs no amount of academia to prove or disprove is.......
once you hit 25 you are dying and its a non stop slide into oblivion
ooo ps:
here in the UK a little while back, some academic scare mongering types published a paper that "proved" wired headsets INCREASED the exposure to the radiation our fones emit
then again, its academia that have set up a (broken) experiment under the alps that with either do nothing or create a black hole ending the world and its surrounds
go figure?!?!
the outcome of such research, changes and contradicts itself so frequently (and depending on who is actually funding it) that all bar what is common sense (eat well, dont do "poisons" (drink and drugs) exercise etc), is pretty worthless
ive been such a researcher so i know most of its twaddle, ive generated some of it!
