^ Do you have any pics of your install? Curious to see where you put the switch and female USB ports.

I have never tested this on vml
ml+ is for gen5 now, and gen6 will be next. I don't have words on gen4 support (if at all)

I'm not sure this would look good on Gen 4. I think Gen4 screen is 256x320, vs. 480x800 for the Gen 5. That's a big difference in pixel density.

The VaisTech website says ML+ is Gen 6 compatible:

They will be launching a version for Gen 6 with joystick in about a week.

Hey BATMAN this is a very awesome right up, but why didn't you mention this on the 3GS forums?

I'd be happy to do that. What's the best way to do it? Re-post the review in the 3GS forum? Or write a shorter version with a link to this thread?

What does the interface look like when you play something from a USB thumb drive?

so if you don't have an iOS4 device, then this product is a bit like a VML with video capability and extra inputs?

yup, if you put in say an ipod without ios4, it will go back to the old style vml / sl2i-up display. and you can get to the blank screen of course to play video. can think of it as sl2vi
