How to connect a Palm Tungsten C or Tungsten W to normal headphones

[sylvar]

It took me a very long time to find this product, but I'm so glad I did.

If you have a Palm Tungsten C or Palm Tungsten W PDA and you want to connect it to normal stereo headphones, your car stereo, or something else with a headphone jack, what you need is this ten-dollar adapter. Yeah, the price seems a little high, but when you have this, you can connect your favorite standard headphones to your PDA and use it to listen to MP3s or streaming radio via wi-fi.

Me, I'm gonna use it to listen to podcasts on my commute. (Through my car stereo -- not earphones. That's just dangerous.)

Actually, I posted about this once, but I don't understand why it's dangerous to drive with headphones but not with a car stereo. Do you know why?

Also, I just ordered one of those adapters for my Treo yesterday ^_^

My Fontopia headphones reduce ambient noise I need to hear while driving. Good to see you back. We have friends in Seattle if you want a local guide.

There's also truth in what you ask -- listening to a book on tape can be dangerous if you use verbal-input bits of your brain for visual processing. I can listen while driving, but I can't speak while visualizing a solution to a problem.
