I hope RIM doesn't waste time in making one of these.. Just purchase any good quality cable - doesn't take much to make a good cable for it to be OEM.. Monster cable maybe?
I got a mediabridge 10ft. cable.. works alright..
ps.. this isn't my thread.. although it looks like..
HDMI cables are such a rip off! I am glad to see people finally waking up to this fact. I can't believe BB is still trying to sell some for $100. Amazon and Monoprice are your friends.
I bought the $3 GTMax cable off Amazon... didn't work, and I tried it on both Playbooks (the one I'm keeping and the one I'm returning). Worst part is that the seller expects me to pay return shipping on a defective cable, so I'll probably just eat the 3 bucks.
I just ordered a 15-footer from Monoprice last night. Hopefully better results.
I also purchased the same HDMI cable from Amazon that ships from handhelditems.com, mine works fine on my LG W225TQ desktop monitor.
Displaying your Blackberry Playbook on a 22 inch monitor or a large flat screen TV is a great way to show its greatness to your friends. You may even convert them to the Blackberry way of life like I'm doing, one person at a time.
Most people have an HDMI cable sitting around their home. My brother recently picked up the tiny HDMI to micro adapter for like 5 bucks. It was way cheaper than buying the whole cable!
Mine was included in the 64GB PlayBook bundle I purchased from The Shopping Channel.
But who wants to spend that kind of money on an HDMI cable when there are cheaper alternatives. Why pay that much more for a cable simply because it has the BlackBerry logos on them? Especially since more than likely the cheaper cable options are just as good as the BlackBerry branded ones.

that statement is so embarrassing... (lol)
As for BB not making one... too late, I already have one (got it pretty much for free). But im pretty sure the website says they are only $20
