Apple probably would like you to buy from them.

Missed this one. Any tablet or computer with a USB port will do all of
those things, Alan. Those other connectors for the iPad are made to make
up for the lack of USB.

Who needs a $15 USB cable?
See. This is the problem with the Apple fanboy. They are so out of touch
with what other people pay for the same thing (or better) that they don't
realize what things actually cost.
One standard video cable and one standard USB cable with each be dirt
cheap.
That's the advantage of having the port on the device rather than forcing
the user to do the equivalent of a TI/99 expansion.

Yep, add lots of ports to an ultra-portable, that makes sense -- NOT
--
Lloyd
JEDIDIAH
Sure it would. That's assuming that the device vendor is playing nice
to begin with and giving you a useful device with enough ports and ones
that are actually widely used.
I could see how an Apple users's default presumption would be contrary.
I have 3 different dongles for 3 different revisions of the same Mac.

Apparently, only JED can use a single VGA cable to plug into four
different video ports (VGA, DVI, Component and Composite)...or is he
plugging it in via USB? ;-)

Who cares about VGA? This is 2011. I thought you fanboy weenies were

So then why did you also effectively endorse Composite and Component
interfaces too? Was it simply that you neglected to read *anything*
before jumping on the Bandwagon.

Except that I'm not rediculing the OP troll for having an incomplete
list: I'm rediculing you for your claim that you can use a single
cable for four very different video interfaces.
And it doesn't matter if none of them are the best choice, unless
you're going to try to claim that your same cable that already does
DVI, VGA, Composite and Component can do more, such as HDMI or MDP.
Frankly, the obvious choice path forward for a modern portable device
is to obsolete all physical cables and just stream its data
wirelessly.

So you're chickening out?
I don't have $100K in cash, so I can't take your bet.
Come on, rich guy. Surely a guy who's buying a Hyundai for a track day

Actually, you are backing out by trying to bluff your way out of a bet

Nice theory, but in practice you can't really find a "suitable way" to
add it to the device because the interface is too big relative to the
form factor.
And this assumes that you can even pick but one so-called "Standard
connection", even though the OP's list of four different ones all are
plausible. As Lloyd pointed out, there's also the slippery slope of
scope creep, so instead of trying to find the real estate for one,
you're now trying to find the real estate for multiple video
ports...on that small, mobile device.

Except that they were on the OP's list for which you chose to be
silent on their implications, since that didn't suit your agenda.
>

> You're trying to obscure the truth of the matter with excrement.
Where your perception of the "truth" is to load up the device with a
bunch of common physical interfaces, because using a single one
that's proprietary is philisophically "offensive" to you despite the
tangible benefits it affords in facilitating a smaller form factor.
So fine! Don't use Apple 30-pin 'universal port' interface - - but
what are you going to use instead that's still a *single* port?
Unless one is going to go wireless (as I already mentioned), the only
way to get small is through a single interface that will need to be
some sort of "universal" interface port - - so what specific interface
does this today that has already sold 500+ Million copies (as the
Apple one has) but is not proprietary?
Sure, USB is probably an option, but when reviewing their retail
prices, to see if it really is both viable as well as cost-
competitive, we find:
DVI: $45 & up
VGA: $45 & up
Composite: $33 & up
RCA Component: $10 & up
SD camera: $10 & up
Subtotal: $143 ... so you're gnashing your teeth over a mere $20
(less than the typical sales tax on an iPad).
FWIW, I'll freely admit that the Apple solution of a single port that
then can accept various "dongle-esque" adaptors isn't the best
possible solution: the best solution would have been for us to have
never had multiple video standards in the first place.
However, since that's simply not an option, it comes down to the
question of how to support the capability, and the options are limited
to either a row of "standard" legacy ports which take up room, or a
"universal" port that will use ad hoc adaptors & dongles for each.
No matter what "universal" port is proposed, there's going to be
dongles to support these various legacy standards, and unless there's
a proprietary port that inserts control, there's also going to be the
question on if they're going to actually work...
So do feel free to go buy one of those Android tablets that has a USB
port and all of the above adaptors and post a video that demonstrates
that it's all "out of the box" functional without having any hassles.
If you can't do that, then the proposition is that the public is
better off by just paying the "It just Works" tax, which here is no
more than $20 (and probably a lot less, since few people need all four
of these video adaptors.

Include useful, standard, widely uses interfaces and you don't have
to worry about the cost of cables. While the rubes will certainly spend
more than they need to for a CablesToGo product at the Apple store, the
rest of us don't have to.
If dongles are a best seller, than your design has failed.
If you are lucky, perhaps your target market will be willing to drink
the cool-aid and offer all manner of excuses for your incompetent design
and even go so far as to claim that your designs are actually better.

So here were the retail prices from Google on the **NON**-propritary
USB adaptors:
DVI: $45 & up
VGA: $45 & up
Composite: $33 & up
RCA Component: $10 & up
SD camera: $10 & up
So why are these NONproprietary cables basically the same damn price
as the Apple ones, Boys?
Oh that's right: these are all "PENNIES EACH" and Google Marketplace
can't find any examples.

By that same metric, why aren't those bazillions of PCs using USB able
to get those prices down either? The Marketplace prices are thus
saying that the entire PC & Linux Worlds are cool-aid drinkers
too...or, your logic and claims are simply wrong.

Hey poster boy: because by the time that you "no compromise" add all

And RAM has never been cheap at Apple either, so So What?
All that your finding of cheap USB-AUC cables on eBay has illustrated
is exactly my point: the product's cost is not due to Apple's
proprietary interface connector. If you check the archives, you'll
find that I had pointed this out several months ago, specifically
mentioning a per-cable price of under $2 on Amazon.

If he comes through with the escrow - which he probably won't - are you

Although, in my defense, anyone who wants to bet 5k, then ups it to
100k when someone tries to call him out on that bet, is obviously
someone who is not comfortable with his golf skills. Scratch or not, I

Their $19 HDMI cables are over priced.
"Usually, I would recommend that people buy Apple accessories for
their Apple devices to ensure the best compatibility; however, this is
just a standard HDMI cable, there is nothing at all special or unique
to Apple about it, save for the fact that it's a little overpriced. My

roughly half the price."
