@tinysaint10 - I don't know whether it would work with a wireless headset. I only had wired sets for my testing.

@Bladerunner55217 - I don't know about that particular headset. I could only test the one I had using the iPad Camera Connection Kit.

@petertheasian - the adapter does NOT work with the iPhone 4. When you plug it in a warning pops us saying that it is not supported with the device. I agree it would be cool if it could be used!

@corbetsC - no, sadly you are NOT able to connect a USB webcam. That was one of my original hopes for the adapter, but it turned out not to be possible. (And now that the iPad2 is out, the need for an external camera is less.)

I will try with a G35 Logitech headphones (and maybe write a basic driver for jailbreaked devices)

You think the usb microsoft life chat 3000 will work with voip (ooma) . If so how does it connect to each other? Thanks for your time.

Would that adapter work with an iPhone 4? I would love to use my steelseries headset like that.

Can you connect a USB webcam so you have a camera?
