iPod/iPad and iPhone HDMI Video converter

Apple introduced a few days ago an official HDMI converter made for iOS devices and it is now the turn of Princeton to do the very same thing with its PIP-HDU1. Supporting pretty much any iPod including the iPod nano 3rd, 4th, 5th, iPod Classic, iPod Touch 2nd, 3rd and 4th as well as All iPhones (3G, 3GS and 4) and both iPad and iPad2, the PIP-HDU1 will allow you to display movies, photos and YouTube video (when compatible) to any HDMI capable TVs!

5-in-1 Dongle for iPad

It is funny how people would complain about the iPad's singular port, forcing users to buy accessories to make it adaptable to other devices like digital cameras, keyboards, and HDTVs. Yet they end up buying the dongles anyway.

The problem, however, is that these dongles can be quite limiting as they could only plug in just one type of device.

One solution is this 5-in-1 Connection Kit featured on USB Fever. This adapter allows you to connect your iPad to a TV for video playback, SD and microSD cards for data transfer, computer for data sync, USB port for charging, keyboard for data input, and DC for photo and video input.

The dongle works for both the iPad and iPad 2, but on a limited number of firmware. Users are also advised not to plug multiple attachments at the same time.

Oh, and did we mention it costs US$44.99? But people will buy it anyway.

Hanwha unleashes HDMI / USB adapter for iPad, iPhone 4, and fourth-gen iPod touch

Feel the desire to watch your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (fourth gen) videos on the big screen, but looking for something with a little more girth than Apple's HDMI solution? Hanwha's latest dongle might do the job. As you can see above, in place of the original adapter's dock connector port is a USB 2.0 socket - compatible with cameras supporting mass storage connection - alongside the 720p-friendly HDMI port, but you'll have to use the switch to toggle between the two modes. And that little mini-USB port on the far right? Well, it's there to provide some juice to "reduce battery drain," but probably not enough to charge up your iDevice. If you're still interested and have a friend in Japan, Hanwha's charging ¥5,980 (around $73), which is almost double that of Apple's $39 connector. Is USB support worth such a price jump? Your call.

Unofficial CF memory card adapter for the iPad 2

They say that necessity is the mother of all invention, and we couldn't agree more with that statement. While there isn't any official CF memory card adapter for the newly released iPad 2, there is an unofficial one – thanks to the enterprising folks over at China, of course. Not ashamed to be called the iPad 2 CF Card Camera Connection Kit, it will let you hook up a CF card to an iPad 2 thanks to the docking port. Apart from that, it is also equipped with a USB adapter that will let you plug in a camera as well as other compatible accessories. Capable of playing nice with CF memory cards of up to 400X speed, you can place a pre-order for one for $29.90, where it is tipped to ship this coming April 25th. Oh yeah, it is also compatible with the first generation iPad, so no worries there.
