Yet another downside to Apples policy of proprietary everything I suppose,you really have to go to them for your leads,apps and everything else and they can charge whatever they like then as they have a captive market.

I'm sure that as the Chinese make all the components for them in their sweatshops anyway that someone must have run off a sideline of copies,you sure there are none on fleabay?

Edit:

   Just found this

There's the reason for a mega expensive cable I think

It looks like the HDMI cable from apple is far from just a cable. They've put a mini computer in the cable to make it stream better, that would probably explain the extra cost.

Not going to make any sarky remarks about being able to plug my android phone or tablet into the telly with cheap cables..... ;)

LOL

Neither am I Wink

That's what I like about Android though,it's so tweakable,you can do almost anything you want with it and put on anything you fancy.

Alright it's more vulnerable than an I whatever but that's what makes it so much more fun to play with I reckon.

My Mrs wants an I Pad as the kids use them at her school and she likes the look,but sod that for a price!
