Im not 100% sure that the cable we need is not for sale yet... but I know that I have never seen the cable that we need other than in the youtube video I posted above and the verizon launch package pdf file.

The key to this cable is the male-female micro usb passthrough allowing the Incredible to bump out video while still charging the device. To my knowledge...no other device uses this type of cable.

You can use a mini-usb -> composite, and then use a micro usb ->mini usb adapter...****BUT**** The pin orientation would have to match that of the OEM cable.

For instance the right audio channel to pins 1 and 2, left channel to pins 3 and 4...etc. If the cable you buy doesnt match the pin orientation for the OEM Incredible cable it WILL NOT work. So unless you want to buy a bunch of different cables or you are good technician....I would suggest waiting for the OEM cable.

For the guy thinking about the 5 pin cable.. it will not work. You need 2 pins for right audio, 2 pins for left audio, 2 pins for video, and 2-3 pins for power...(if your planning on adding a female connector for power.) So by my count youll need at least 6 pins for bumping out audio and video.
