Anyone know of a good set? I've only found the siedio that cost like 55 bucks and it's not even the form factor I'm hoping for. There is still a lot of wire that isn't retracted.
Here are the two I've found. I can't even verify that they will work properly or that the connector is 3.5mm and not 2.5mm. Anyone have any experience with them?

Ok, looks like this is exactly what I'm looking for. I just missed it on Seidio's site because it only showed the earbuds in the picture. The other pic shows that there is only a little bit of cable that doesn't get retracted. I'll post if I find it cheaper somewhere else.

I buy a lot of stuff from this Ebay store. Decent prices and quick service. They have the isolator ones for $35 free shipping.

The store also has the retractable data cable and car charger.

thanks a lot of the reply and link. Unfortunately, I've already contacted him and he doesn't have the version I'm looking for. The link you provided is the HTC connector and not a 3.5mm connection.

Yesterday I found this great looking Docking-Station: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/de/p_htc_item.aspx?i=179445
It would look great with the HD but it doesn't fit. Is there anyone, who found a similar station that works with the HD?
This is really the only quality one I know of:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/desktopcradle/htc-touch-hd-desktop-cradle_3387.htm
Not the most attractive, but like I said, quality.
I'm also looking for a cradle that looks good, the only on I have found is this one:
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=175740
However it seems pretty expensive and not to my particular tastes so I was wondering if there were any others too.
Does anyone have any recent experience of using the cheapo docking cradles available for the TouchHD on eBay? I'm based in the UK but would be happy enough to buy one from a seller over here or in Hong Kong.

All they do is connect the USB port to the computer, they are basically a USB lead with a built in stand for the phone. The ones with a second battery socket have a second power input and a charging circuit.

I've got two of those.
One with the extra battery loader.
Dirt cheap on ebay (11 and 16 euro's). Great build quality.
Have the loader on my desk and the other on my nightstand. GREAT!

I got a cheap one from eBay for my desk at work. It works fine for charging the Touch HD, but it doesn't physically support it very well. If you are clicking anywhere near the top of the screen, the phones bends away from you (if you can understand what I mean).
Thanks for all the feedback. Looks as though I may have to look for a slightly more expensive brand of cradle/dock.
Do any of the well-known brands come with the ExtUSB connector instead of the standard mini-USB connector?
Im have a CRG300 craddle, just used a dremmel to make on of the adapters fit the HD.
do you have a foto of the station with the hd in?
NO i did NOT search. I went thru all 9 pages and found zero topics for car chargers. So anywayz, my tilt 2 burned out my cheap crap car charger and i need one with a lifetime warrenty if possible.
I atleast need quality! I see tons and TONS on ebay but i assume they are mostly junk just like the one that burned out
rocketfish makes a good one.

Electronic_crap has a cable called "LinkIT HDMI Cable for the Viewsonic gTablet"

Has anyone used this yet? Does it work? check out the pic
I have seen videos on youtube of it working from that website. But $30 can be better spent IMHO. I keep praying fro monoprice to sell one for $5.

That is pretty unlikely since the cable was ordered custom by Steve (electroniccrap.com). And considering it is less than half the price of the docking station (which is the ONLY other way to get the output) it is not a bad deal.

Not sure there is anything made in china that is exclusive to any one any more.
The cable is available for as low as $20 (pack of 50) and $34 (single purchases) free shipped from China.
I also need to correct you on the math, $30+ shipping @electroniccrap is not less than half the price of the docking station, the fact is the total cost would be very comparable (if not more for international shipments) to the discounted rate for docking station $43.69 shipped world wide (merimobiles with "welcome" discount code)
cool, video does work. Hopefully someone in China posts this up on ebay for alot cheaper. The price for a single cable is still a bit expensive.
This is definitely a unique cable because i can't find another similar cable anywhere.

HDMI cables in general can be more expensive than you'd expect, but here's a reasonably priced adapter...

hit the thanks button
You can also try monoprice.com
to answer the initial question: why are they expensive?
because while they are often referred to as adapters, they are actually not. an adapter is something that changes the shape of plugs from one shape to another, like travel adapters for different outlets, the usb otg adapter or when you have a cinch to 3.5mm plug. but this box does way more than just convert the shape, it converts the signal. there is a chip in there that does a lot of work which is also why you need a power supply, it doesn't just charge the phone, it also powers the mhl chip.
and since it actually does something and is not just a piece of wire, it might well cost 20eur, but certainly 50 pounds is too much, i'd have to agree with you on that. still, i am waiting for a cheap german shop to offer them. way less trouble with payment and shipment.
Can anyone recommend a decent set of speak cables for the Q ?

Eh, they are banana plugs really. I have been using acoustic research cable, stripped and crimped over the insulation, works fine.
Any kind of banana connector and speaker wire would work though
I was looking for some complete cables. I did source some banana jacks from Amazon but they didn't fit, will get some eventually.

I got some Sewell banana plug cables from Amazon. Looking at the prices some places asked for just the plugs I was happy to get complete cables for around the same price, and the quality is pretty good. I'm using them with some used Triads (not the Google ones :crying I got from eBay.
