The middle pic doesn't really show all the much but the pic on the right shows two different strands of wire coming out of each headphone. I was able to get those connected to the two coming out of the Palm headset (thank God they're the same colors!) and soldered together.

One head phone was working but the other wasn't and I couldn't figure out why. So I cut out the soldered connection on the headphone that wasn't working and tried it again. I tried my best to separate the two strands and to make sure there was good contact when I soldered them. But, the headphone still wouldn't work. Now i had a set of Palm headphones that only had one headphone working...in the trash they went waiting for the Treo Pro to come out. Can't wait for some 3.5mm goodness...

There's a huge thread on treocentral on doing the mod on the stock headphones and converting them to a 3.5mm adaptor, folks are doing it by dime and dozen.

yeah, I've seen them there before and just started reading them like an hour ago. I think im going to go a different route this time and install a 3.5mm adapter. I tried just installing new buds last time because I wanted to keep the mic function but now I just want better ear buds.

Kinoma Play and FreePlay support A2DP (Bluetooth music), but not AVRCP (Bluetooth remote control).

It's an interesting feature that's high on our customer wishlist.
