View Full Version : Today's dumb question - what is the connector around the 2.5mm jack for?

I'm sorry if this is really obvious to the rest of you intelligent folks, but I look at my Xda2s headset jack port and I can see that it is built into the middle of what appears to be another, apparently male, connector with 4 connector strips arranged in two pairs at either end of a rough rectangle.

What is this for? I can only guess that it is possibly for an external aerial (which would be good if it could improve the poor WiFi reception). Am I right? If so, does anyone know anywhere that sells these aerials?

TIA

I could be wrong but this sounds like a mini firewire connector.
