re: My Workbench Build

Sorry it took so long William, but I now have a cable. Here is what I have done:

Connected the phone (Droid Maxx) to the usb port on the PC
Vista recognized it immediately and loaded drivers for it.
I was able to use Windows photo gallery to download photos from my phone to the PC
I was also able to browse to the phone from: Computer>Portable Devices>XT1080 (your device will be called something else)>Internal Storage>DCIM>Camera and was able to drag and drop photos to any file I wanted to as well as copy and paste from the phone.

iTunes would not recognize my Android phone, but you should have no problems syncing your iPhone through iTunes. The help file in iTunes shows you how to do it.

Hope it works for you.
