Uhhh, its pretty well known and actually a cheap £2 USB OTG adaptor off ebay which does the same job.
and SE never kept it 'hush hush' from their website "Blog. IM. Game the day away. Connect your USB keyboard or game controller to LiveDock™. And transform your phone into a mini-PC. Or a video gaming console. LiveDock™ is a phone dock with USB. So you can do more. The possibilities are endless."
If the demo video shows a controller being use

OTG cables wont do ps3 controllers as arc wont power it. Also sony said usb controller they did not state ps3 daul shock was native supported. But thanks for your input

Yes it will, the Livedock is exactly the same as the OTG cable, just the latter isn't a dock. I have tried my wired dual shock controller and it works. SE didn't specifically state their ps controller because its a controller and so will obviously work.

The live dock is self powered and OTG cables are not. Plus a Daul shock 3 controller is not like any other usb controller that works on anything. Anyway i dont care that you may already know this. This is here for people that did not. Thankyou for your more then usefull input.

So I can't post pics yet, but I am working on combining a Power A mini wiimote into a classic controller pro. It is the same thing MOG has been working on, and he has done some great stuff.
So Key points so far.
The mini wiimote does work with the Droid X at least, and it does connect to the classic controller pro.
I can't cut the wiimote pcb, because there are just too many connections all over the board, unlike the typical wiimote where the top half can be cut.
Next step is to solder the wires correctly for the wiimote and the classic controller.
Stay posted if interested. If it goes well, I plan to add a dock like MOG did, but also USB power and what not, depending how much I like it. Kind of just combining multiple things I've seen on the net.
So the soldering went well, but for some reason the player indicator lights keep flashing.
It actually didn't take long, now i just need something to glue it together. I'll post pics once I get to 8 posts.

That is totally wicked! I have been using a Wiimote to play GBA and SNES games quite a bit lately (ordered a classic controller online waiting for shipping). I love being able to not use the on screen controls.

I did something similar to this, but did not cut the controller I used an adapter and glued it. And modded a case to attach the phone to the controller.
Looks awesome
I've made 2 and will make my 3rd soon. Here's the idea for my 3rd.
-must use classic controller (not pro version) this gives u a flat back surface
-wiimote will be horizontal on the back of the CC (put the trigger on the back left side) gives u a nice trigger for shooter games!
Still need to see exactly how ill mount the phone but I really want a trigger like the n64 controller.
Just found this thread while searching for advise. I want to do something like this, but I want to mount the Power A board INSIDE the CC or CC Pro shell. Has anyone tried this, will it fit? I'd like a switch on it that tells the buttons to work as CC buttons or Wiimote buttons, and add a rechargable battery and charging port. Basically I want to make a copy of the Wii U branded Interworks Pro Controller that does exactly this. I would buy one, but I hear they don't work all that well. (bad dpad, shuts off, etc).
I hear the datel retro controller works. It looks just like the classic but its wireless.
Anybody ever try this out? I had never heard of it till just now, watching Catfish on my PS3 and there was a little commercial thing for it. I just downloaded it and it's pretty neat. So far it's turned my EVO into a Blu-ray remote for my PS3, and it is surprisingly very responsive. I think it only works with certain Blu-ray discs but it's neat nonetheless. I'm gonna play with it some more but just thought I'd give you guys a heads up.

Yeah man, agreed. This right here proves that it's entirely possibly. This one works over wifi but I'd imagine it's possible to create one that works over bluetooth and can control the actual PS3 directly instead of through the disc. I really wonder why Sony hasn't made an app for it themselves. Perhaps they would rather people just buy the actual remote...
From what I understand, you have to pay Sony to use the bluetooth connectivity. In fact, I'm not even sure that just anybody can use the bluetooth connectivity for remotes. It's the reason you never see a third party PS3 controller that ISN'T a dongle wireless connection. And from the PS3 XMB, you need a controller to connect and control the PS3.
While in video playback the same holds true as well. But the difference in this blu-ray remote is that Blu-rays can access and have Java content AND Internet connected content control the movie. All the Android remote is is a wifi and Java marriage controlling your Blu-ray content.
Sadly, it isn't simply your phone directly connected to your PS3. If you read about the remote, it actually has to connect to your home network THEN it'll connect to your PS3. It's not even a direct connection. I believe the whole process only works on those Blu-rays that specifically mention the pocket Blu app. The only one I own is a Universal movie (Back to the Future).
Yeah this is fun
Was at my brother in laws house and I saw the ad for it on the bluray. He didn't know what was going on when I would go to the root menu or fast forward the movie. Great fun.
Yeah sony is odd with not being alittle more open with what get connected.
My logitech headset will not work with the ps3 as for game audio being piped into tge headset but I can go buy a headset that costs near a used ps3

I got excited until i kept reading the posts . Makes be wonder if phones like the Xperia play and such will get more love from Sony towards the PS3.
Now if o could only play games using it as a on screen controller
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
Since the Sony BD remote is just bluetooth,
I wonder if it is possible to just emulate the handshake and calls that the BD remote does with the bluetooth chip on any phone.

Pretty sure it has less to do with people wanting the actual remote and more to do with Sony wanting to charge $30+ for the actual remote.
So when is an xbox remote control app coming to Android?
If anyone is looking for a cheap micro usb otg host adapter to use to attach usb devices (thanks to DooMLord here), I ordered these from DealExtreme a few weeks ago and they just came in. Worked like a charm to mount a usb stick on my Arc. $2.20 with free shipping, no taxes as they marked it as a gift:

Is OTG cable available for NOVO 7 Paladin?
Yeah, found that one too. With that prize, you could purchase a lot of them. In hardware shops, they may cost tens of euros.

It would have to be a powered USB hub. Besides that, it could work. Although, you're not likely to get much computing power out of it... meaning not much word processing or any heavy tasks, really. I'd guess that HD video would probably be out of the question. IMO you'd be better off getting a low end netbook.
Thanks! Yeah just looking to be able to go home and be able to write text with a keyboard and watch youtube videos and such. Maybe even build a docking station with a wooden box or something to hold all the wires. My biggest dilemma is the HDMI cable going through the USB hub.

Yeah, you might sacrifice a bit of resolution like that. I'm not sure you can carry 1080p through USB.
But for the basics, email, surfing, texting and youtube...I think it'd work
on the side of that mhl adaptor it looks like there is a micro usb port and a search on ebay had similar, so plug the mhl directly into the phone and then hdmi to tv/monitor and the micro usb on the side of the mhl to the usb hub.
if the above is not the case then
i would elimnate that gender adaptor coming from the hub out to the female usb to female micro usb, just get a male usb to female micro usb.
the last time i check usb hosting was not supported? pls tell me im wrong tho

Are you sure the device supports simultaneous multiple BT connections?
Also, there are more comfortable BT keyboards out there. I've got the HP, it's got the same spacing/layout as my 15" laptop.
I have simultaneous connections to my Moto S9 headset (music playing), keyboard and mouse. No problems. The music skips once when you connect another device but then everything works perfect.
A bigger keyboard would be nice but this one was cheap.
The mouse is great with android. Right mouse button goes back. Middle mouse is menu. Scroll wheel works great.

Excellent. I didn't mean to sound accusative, I just wasn't sure the multiple device support was there.
Then yeah, @the OP, I'd definitely use BT, too!!
The HP kb rocks, and I got mine (an open box display) for around $20.
This is what I want to do as well. Has anyone been able to get host mode to work with external storage on a non-ICS ROM?
Well,I try to connect my External Hard Disk and it doesn't work...I got a notification stated that it's empty or unsupported thing like that...how can I fix it?
Plus,I try to plug in my usb controller,I got a notification stated too much power consumption :crying: how can I connect my controller?
Thank you for every help that you guys give to me,I'll never forget it...

I have a Sony DK10 LiveDock, which has it's USB port connected to an Aten US421A USB switch, which is connected to a Targus 7 port powered Hub.
As the Targus 7 port hub is independently powered, it'll support any Sony (LT26i) supported device.
And I have some weird stuff connected like a 80GB IDE FAT32 USB enclosed HDD and/or your bog standard WD 320GB USB HDD (FAT32), a DELL U2410 monitor with SDcard reader and a HP 8GB v165w USB flash drive.
So stuff does work, BUT, if you're independently powering this off your Sony microUSB port on your phone you will have to match the power output of the phone with the power requirement of the attached device.
USB2.0 is spec'd at 5V and 5x100mA units.
WD USB HDD requires V5 0.55A to run and we know they're not supported
It is possible(I don't know) that the output of the Sony LT26i MicroUSB is only around ~300mA and thus devices attempting to draw more power will not work. It could be as low as 100mA.
I have a HP 8GB v165w flash drive and that doesn't work directly connected to the Sony (LT26i), but does work when connected through a powered USB hub. So if one knew it's power draw, then one could work out what the Sony (LT26i) is providing.
