You must pay extra for HDTV out? What?
- biot 14y agoIt's a feature that adds value. They are capturing that value via an in-app payment. If the value you would receive from this feature is less than the asking price, don't pay for it. Pretty simple, really.
- CrankyPants 14y agoDo users also have to pay extra to get audio through the headphone jack? One could argue that all features add value. Should all features then be à la carte via in-app purchases? That'd be absurd. Things can be both absurd and simple. Really.
- youngerdryas 14y agoI guess they should offer a version with banner ads all over your dashboard.
- evan_ 14y agoYou can probably use the iPad's builtin hdmi out feature for free, but it will output an iPad-shaped display. The one you pay for will dynamically resize to fit the screen it's attached to and display different stuff. Not a huge difference but it isn't like they did NOTHING for the feature.
- arrrg 14y agoWhy is it absurd? It’s price differentiation. Pure and simple. I think that’s a very reasonable way to make money.
