    Little adapter to make a common HDMI cable fit into PlayBook.

    It works fine.

    Xtreme brand - not that it matters...

    i picked one up on Friday in Brandon, Manitoba and it works great. Princess Auto also has great deals on HDMI cables and other cabling/adapters. When setting up my home theatre system I saved a bundle buying cables at Princess Auto. The AV stores charge huge markups on their cables.

    check out monoprice.com. They ship to Canada and if you dont mind waiting for the mail you'll pay about $4 for the same cable Futureshop charges $35 for.

    Yeah, I agree. I also picked up two 12-foot HDMI cables for $10 each at Princess Auto at the same time. $10 is not 'The World's Lowest Price' for an HDMI cable, but it's pretty good! :-)

    I gave up on retail stores for that stuff, I usually use ebay for it, same adapter $2.08 with shipping, The Source wanted $25, FS $30.

    I am happy to hear Princess Auto has cheap cables though, easier then using ebay.

    Just purchased micro HDMI male to HDMI female connector at Radio Shack in Niagara Falls NY. Paid 2x price quoted above at Princess Auto - but cheap for me since I live in Niagara region - this said to get my PB to fire up on a Panasonic I needed to re-boot PB with cable attached to television. I'm sure they'll correct this on next version of PB os. Hope this helps.
