iPhone video cable?

[edmartin]

Are there any alternatives to Apple's own Composite AV Cable? I'd like to find something less than the $49 Apple wants for the cable or at least a place to get it for less?

There's always eBay.

Try Amazon. Here's the link, but supposedly it is temporarily out of stock:

Unfortunately, it's not compatible with the iPhone

That is right. Everyone needs to know the the apple cable has a chip in the cable that iPhone reads.

I have an apple cable that I paid $19 for and it will not work.

I found a cable that works on my iPhone 3G and my nano (3e generation) and it was just under 12 dollars. (including shipping)

And it has everything 3 composite plugs and a usb plug so that i can charge it at the same time.

have a look at http://www.coolusbtoys.com/silver-av-tv-audio-video-cable-for-iphone-3g/ to read more about it
