iPhone RFID reader with rechargeable battery

I cannot tell too much about this yet, and I actually don’t have much time to post about it,
but having seen a similar device on HackADay, I wanted to push this out a little.

the device is an iPhone/iPod Touch accessory for Jailbroken devices.
it uses the dock connector serial interface and has a rechargeable battery.
the interface to iTunes is provided via a mini-USB and the charging happens through an external power adapter.
the device can be charged via both USB (100mAh) or PSU (500mAh).

this project has been commissioned by MediaMatic amsterdam, and the electronics have been prototyped by me for twodotone amsterdam (founded by me) and Gianluca Martino of team Arduino italy.

we will post more details when we publish the project and it will end up in the museum it’s been designed for ;)

    Any development around this project lately ?
    Could be a nice addon for my ovstation ;-)

    the project was finished last year.
    it’s now running in some museum in the netherlands and Mediamatic owns its rights.
