Checked out this cable on future shops website and it seems to have a standard computer USB plug- the Bitzie on the other hand has a printer type USB socket, making this a nonstarter unless an adaptor of sorts is used which would lessen its chances of sending sufficient power to run the Bitzie.

Well spotted.

Although stepping outside the realms of practical would a self powered hub help?

Good suggestion Steve,

I guess a tapped-off cable having a 5V supply with the twisted pair only going between the source device and Bitzie would show if these devices were 'willing to talk'

Bob, maybe it would be worth an iPhone owner with a Bitzie on loan, or future loan, asking them.
I'm going to be posting the loan Bitzie onwards tomorrow - maybe someone down the line would be prepared to take up the challenge if they could be assured of a refund . . . ?

I have an iPhone 5 and unless I am willing to "jailbreak it" the new lightning connector will not output digital out. Sorry but at this time I do not plan on jailbreaking the iPhone.
