    It does not come with one. Look for deals online... the ones at electronic stores are usually @ rip-off price levels

    Nope it does not. It is a micro hdmi I believe. monoprice.com is a good place to get a good cable at a good price.

    Me too! actually mine came out to $3.42 with shipping from amazon...they have a lot of accessories for a mere few dollars.
    as for the hdmi it definitely convinced me that the playbook was a good purchase. the whole mirror thing made me say wow as it was like having a 32' inch playbook in my living room. everything played without delay. games, videos, you name it...i know other tablets have hdmi outputs but i don't know if it works in the same way. but at this point i'm quite amazed with the playbook's hdmi...i feel like i have one of batman's gadgets.

    my only complaint, and it's minor is that most of the hdmi cables are 6ft long. i know there are longer ones available but the prices for those are fairly high by comparison...right now the best app i have is the vevo app which has a lot of great videos and if i want to sit back on my couch and put my feet up, 6 feet isn't going to cut it...ahh well.

    True dat.

    And make sure its a micro-hdmi cable - NOT a mini-hdmi cable. I made that mistake.

    dont buy a cable, buy and adapter to turn any standard cable to a mini. i only paid 5$ and it is much easier to tote around. i usually have one i can borrow anywhere i go...the office, home, and other company's conference rooms etc.
