The other thing I thought about would be putting a seal around certian bits of the board and making a custom housing for ...

I was wandering how much it would cost to have the connectors not actually put on, therefore bypassing the need to take them off. As all I really want / need to do is attach the USB cable via soldering it to the terminals that are already there.

Just been looking ...

USB LAPTOP STATUS DONGLE

Hi,

I have recently bought an Asus EEEPC, which is really cool. But I want to design a small little dongle that reads out the subject of new emails and things like that when the screen is off. Thus saving power.
