yoyo52 Nothing comes of nothing. Registered: 05/25/01 Posts: 30520 Loc: PA, USA	I finally watched part of the keynote that Steve gave to introduce the iPad, and heard him say that the 30-pin connector makes all the peripherals that work with the iPods available to the iPad as well. But there is no 30-pin to VGA or DVI adaptor that I can find, anyway. Does such a thing exist? Can such a thing exist--is it technically possible? _________________________ MACTECH ubi dolor ibi digitus

So we'll have to see what that turns out to be. It would be pretty silly to be able to create Keynote shows on the thing but not be able to put them up on a screen ...

Maybe Apple is relaying to much on 3rd party developers ? ? instead of it self I mean , the iPad don't seem to be targeted to consumers or business = sorta like in Limbo Edited by carp (02/15/10 02:08 PM) _________________________

six_of_one Pool Bar Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 4276 Loc: Alexandria, VA	er ... neither the iPod Touch nor the iPad has a VGA out or a Component out -- how would you connect this adapter to either device? Regardless, it looks like Apple will have the solution (at least for the iPad -- and only $29 =)

NucleusG4 Master•Blaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 10428 Loc: Miami, Fl.	Which begs the question... If it works as a 30 pin connector/adapter on an iPad... what's to prevent it from working on an iPhone or iTouch or iPod? _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/
