1. teachers are not stating that Keynote doesn't work, they said things that AREN'T Keynote (and movies) don't work. That's the opposite of what Engadget posted.

2. it doesn't just mirror the screen because when you're showing a movie or running a keynote presentation, you only want the on-screen controls to appear on your iPad. This is why PowerPoint's presenter mode uses dual-video output instead of just mirroring the presenter's screen.

3. I hate to point this out, but didn't the Incredible make news recently when it was announced that it will be the first Android device to support VGA mirroring?]]>Apr 26th 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/apple-ipad-dock-connector-to-vga-adapter-not-accomplishing-the-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/apple-ipad-dock-connector-to-vga-adapter-not-accomplishing-the-s/but that's just a phone, not a "magical" "computer" "revolution," "the best thing [apple has] ever done." ]]>Apr 26th 2010 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/apple-ipad-dock-connector-to-vga-adapter-not-accomplishing-the-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/apple-ipad-dock-connector-to-vga-adapter-not-accomplishing-the-s/Apr 26th 2010 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/apple-ipad-dock-connector-to-vga-adapter-not-accomplishing-the-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/apple-ipad-dock-connector-to-vga-adapter-not-accomplishing-the-s/
Hi all... I *do* own the iPad with this dongle... It does work as advertised (in a kinda wonky way) with keynote app out to a monitor but you must follow apple instructions exactly (as it seems to be order dependent; and perhaps, output device dependent as well), It did work fine to my monitor. I do know that videos/youtube is less problamatic.

Also there is a google groups code that is public for someone who made a 3/4ths serious attempt to mirror an iPad screen thought code.

They really could have done a better job with this. My hunch is that the whole thing (iPad / connectors (both video & camera)) were rushed to market in order to beat the HP Slate & Android tablets that are a comin... Cheers GH

I'd be extremely pissed off if i were an ipad owner now, not only do i have to go out buying 5/6 $30+ addons to make it good, but it doesnt work?

So, what have we learnt about apple? wait for 3rd gen, MINIMUM, it saves a lot of money and gets you a better product XD

Wow, aren't we all demandy with the free bloggy thing?

Funny thing is, this post DOES interest me, having bought said adapter, and considering Keynote. In fact, this probably the most valuable post I've read all day, considering I just saved myself at least a little disappointment.

The Apple-Haters are getting soooo whiny lately!

If you're not interested in a post, why are you complaining about it?!

Defensive much? I'm glad it interested you. Since it seems so important to you, you'd likely go out of your way to read Engagdet Apple, where this post would be exclusively because apart from those with the dongle (which I'd guess there aren't many) NO ONE CARES ABOUT IT.

And I chose this post to ask because there isn't exactly a forum here with the ability to create random topics now is there?
