Q. Alright I just got this hdmi av adaptor for my iPad it works for videos but won't display my home screen or games, what's up with this.
A. The only thing the adapter will display is videos. It will also play music through your television, but it will not have any video. The only way to show your screen all the time, is to jailbreak your iPad. You can jailbreak through greenp0ison, redsn0w, etc. Then you get an app from Cydia called "TVOut2". When you have that app on, everything on your iPad will show on the screen.
Better alternative to iPad 2?
Q. i wanna buy and ipad 2, but they're pricey, is there a better alternative? please provide specs
A. iPad 2 Advantages:
IPads have a higher degree of fit-and-finish than the competition. Like iPhones vs other smart phones, iPods vs other MP3 players, or Macs vs PC's, iPads are widely regarded as being more refined and polished than the competition. iPad also has a large and refined App Store (although Android Market is closing the gap).
iPad 2 Disadvantages:
1. No Flash.
2. No SD expansion; no HDMI port; no USB port.
3. ASUS Eee Transformer has a better display (10.1 inch, 1280x800, IPS vs 9.7 inch, 1024x768, IPS) for less money.
4. PlayBook and G-Slate have better rear camera video recording (1080p vs 720p).
5. PlayBook has much better front camera video recording (1080p vs VGA).
6. Almost all tablets have better camera resolution than iPad's lousy 0.7 MP.
For overall value: The ASUS Eee Transformer (TF101) is extremely feature rich for under $400: Android 3.1, 10.1 inch 1280x800 IPS (like iPad, but bigger and higher resolution) display, up to 9 hours of battery life (16 hours if optional dock added), optional ability to dock with keyboard, 1 GHz Tegra 250 ARM CPU with 1 GB RAM, good array of ports (mini HDMI, SD, micro SD), preloaded Polaris Office 3.0 for editing documents (.doc), spreadsheets (.xls) and presentation (.ppt) files. Note, though, no 3G (however people report success in tethering it to smart phones).
If the keyboard dock of the Transformer isn't attractive, and/or if you need to save even more money beyond the $500+ iPad price tag, checkout the new Kindle Fire for $199. For content consumption (as opposed to creation via keyboard), it offers outstanding value.
Why would people buy Ipad?
Q. So a lot of people buy Ipad, but all I see them do is playing games. Would you buy an Ipad for only playing games or would you buy it for something else. Tell me why would you buy an Ipad!?
A. The iPad seems to be a misunderstood and underrated object in the history of technology. Following are the pros and cons of the iPad:
The Pros of the Apple iPad

-Light Weight and Sleek Design
-iPad Applications
-iBooks
-Bigger, Better, and Faster Photo View
-The iWorks Apps Work on Mac Too

The Cons of the Apple iPad (* = available by jailbreak):

I hope this information has helped you more understand the Apple iPad.
