HDMI out is the most overlooked feature. It will be awesome to hit play, walk to the kitchen, watch while cooking, then plug in to HD TV, sit down and continue watching uniterrupted.
Not to mention for presentations, showing photos or video at a party etc.
- tesseractive 14y agoIt's a nice feature, but in the long term, I expect AirPlay or a similar open standard (?) is going to be more important. Why plug your tablet into a cable if you don't have to?
- dusing 14y agoAgreed, once you use Airplay you wonder why you would ever plug a device into a TV, seems archaic
- wtvanhest 14y agoMost Americans do not own Apple TV. I personally never will. That being said, in a few years WiDi or something else will allow this to happen in other devices.
- r00fus 14y agoIt's not AirPlay - it's the concept of wireless "casting" the display to a complaint device - which may in the future be the TV itself (as you mentioned WiDi - though I think the first real competitor to AirPlay will come from Google not Intel).
