I assume the iPad 2 hasn't lost the original's capability of outputting VGA.
Edit: the reason it's a big deal is that the original iPad had to have the app specifically coded to deal with the external screen/projector (and few are). The new version just lets you mirror the content, whatever app you're in. It'd be nice if the new iOS retroactively made this possible on the original (at least at same resolution?) but I kind of doubt it. We'll see next week.

- illumin8 16y agoIt looks like HDMI output is available to all current gen iOS products, as well as iPad 2: http://macdailynews.com/2011/03/02/apples-hdmi-cable-works-with-ipad-ipad-2-iphone-4-and-ipod-touch-4th-gen/ http://macdailynews.com/2011/03/02/apples-hdmi-cable-works-w...
- pmjordan 16y agoThat's pretty curious. Why would they keep that capability quiet for so long?

For all other devices, restricted video out remains, even with the Digital AV Adapter. It will only send video when the application supports it.
- pmjordan 16y agoYeah, I read that bit. I guess I wasn't clear: it means the iPad, iPhone4 and iPod Touch 4g have had the ability to output HDMI all along. It's pretty weird they'd keep that quiet IMO.
