[Q] HDMI Cable (not docking station)

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I did a search and couldn't find anything on it. I'd like to get a docking station, but more importantly I would like to have a cable that has HDMI out. This would be "just a cable", and I'd like it to not go through a dock. The reason is for travel. I can handle wrapping up a cable and stuffing it in a suitcase or something, but I don't want to lug a docking station around.

Anyone know if there's "just a cable" for this thing yet? Thanks.

I have seen this come up before and as I recall nobody knew of one.

Do you realize how small the dock is? It's < 5" long by 3" deep by 2" tall - very compact. Weighs a bit more than the stock power adapter, mostly because they added ballast for stability. It is very portable.

My recommendation: buy a dock and forget about obscure cables that may never exist.

If you check out the original thread covering the Zpad Docks you'll see that itSteve has been passing on details of the pin-outs to someone who was looking into making an HDMI cable. I haven't seen a conclusion to this yet, but if one does become available I'm sure you'll see it make a splash in this forum.

Correct, that would be huge. BUT, there were questions in regards to it needing power to that port and people were unsure if one could be made. I would LOVE to see that tho.

I personally would prefer a cable over a dock. I would only use it for watching movies on my LCD Tv. Wow one more post and I will ascend to another plane!

Yeah I would prefer a cable to a dock as well

Can anyone link to the pin-out for the connector? Also, does anyone know if the connector is a standard type that could be ordered form a component supplier?

Me too. Would make playing games using the tilt sensor easier when displaying on the big screen.

Use Search... I and others have posted much on this before. If there was a quick viable solution, the forum will be screaming with it as soon as it appears. Not any time soon unfortunately.
