Things the iPhone can't do this holiday with the family
- This is not ending well. Can we leave people alone if they want to use an HDMI cable to do presentations for work and family?
And what the heck is a conference room solution for an iPhone/iPad? I'm thinking the answer involves additional Apple devices, or a cable! If you say "use a laptop" then you just don't get it.12-31-13 12:56 PMLike 0 - why are you doing presentation on your phone again? no laptop? u think people will take you serious in the conference room with a wire connected to your phone doing a presentation instead of a laptop? and last i check most ppl do presentation with a remote thats connected to their laptop instead of holding a phone with a silly wire attached to it

yea i will say use a laptop. i don't get it because i don't live in this imaginary world where people go into presentation with their phone or tablet attached to a wire doing presentation. you have any other imaginary scenario you want to bring up? we live in the real world where people do presentation with a computer not a phone. maybe you should come back to reality.
btw , u can buy an adapter for your ipad or iphone to connect the cable.12-31-13 01:26 PMLike 0 -
Edit: Apparently you can stream wirelessly without an Apple TV. My mistake.Last edited by Wiki Cydia; 12-31-13 at 04:12 PM.

I see a lot of people in my part of the real world using either a tablet or a smartphone (wired/wireless) to actually do a presentation.
I think it is even possible with the legacy BB to control your powerpoint presentations using some kind of device (forgot it's name).
Please stop calling others 'crazy' (as you use the word 'imaginary) just because they don't fit in your 'real world' so to speak
Can't have it all. Just enjoy your choice of OS/brand smartphone.12-31-13 08:08 PMLike 0 -
Don't be upset that blackberry is better in this and come into every post and boast about what apple can do, the op posted a positive feature of blackberry fan site. Accept the apple loss for his situation and congratulate or move on.12-31-13 10:07 PMLike 0 - maybe you should read the first post or title. is not about him just wanting to use a wire for his family, is him comparing to iphone.

Who cares about Apple TV, it is a 100 dollar accessory that is needed to do something that a 10 dollar cable and any tv on the market can do, at hotels, projectors, and anything else. Plus it's easier to carry a ten dollar cable that does not require power like Apple TV. Plug and play, it's that easy. That's what I bring.... Actual sense and practicality.

There is no loss for anyone here. It's different stokes for different folks and I CLEARLY stated that each platform is great in their own way in my first post in this thread.

But exactly that is the point: you need either an Apple TV ($ 100 - katshing) or an adapter ($ 40 - katshing) to do this. Now if I had to guess I'd say that barely 3% of all iPhone owners either have an Apple TV or an adapter to deal with.
On the opposite side all you need is the BlackBerry and a $ 3 Micro HDMI cable and you can connect the phone to each of your friends TVs within a second and have a working thing.

This is Apple land, where money doesn't play a role.
Oh you expended your storage by 32 GB? I, as an iPhone user, can do that too. (micro sd: $20, bigger iPhone: $100-200).
Oh you streamed video to your TV wirelessly? I, as an iPhone user, can do that too. (DLNA/Miracast: $0, Apple TV: $100).*
Oh you connected your phone to the HDMI port of that TV? I, as an iPhone user, can do that too. (Micro HDMI: $ 3, Micro HDMI + Lightning to HDMI adapter: $ 43, in Germany even up to $ 70 just for that stupid adapter).
* please no "comparing DLNA to Apple TV is ridiculous" posts. I know it's two world regarding stability and reliability and that Apple TV works much more flawless. But it's still $0 vs $100.

- Welcome to BlackBerry: we don't need to buy official accessories at official BlackBerry sites.

Posted via CB1001-01-14 08:32 AMLike 0 - Indeed I found cheap third party iDevice to HDMI adapters, but only for the old 30 pin connector, none for the new lightning port. But I seriously doubt that every cheap cable is garbage, since I used mine fairly often over the past years and it still works. At least a micro HDMI cable is a standarized accessory in contrast to proprietary iDevice adapters.

The next time you buy a cable (or anything else) just make sure it's not made in some Chinese sweatshop by a fly-by-night operation
Posted via CB1001-01-14 10:04 AMLike 0 - I own a Z10. I know what it can and cannot do better than an iPhone, and what you think is better is just your opinion. I didn't give my opinion, I just stated what it can do.

Also, Apple TV may cost $90, but it is an amazing experience when you use one in a conference or home setting with and iPhone or iPad or Mac.01-01-14 05:29 PMLike 0
