If I may add one to his list....my $3 from ebay AV cable output AV to
my TV perfectly when connected to my ipod touch. Or at least it used
to.Now, since the 3.0 update, suddenly the video doesn't work anymore
and the device complains that it's not an authorized accessory. Guess
I have to buy the $50 cable if I want it to work again (no, I don't
care THAT much). Yep, apple sure does love its DRM.

But I think we've gotten way off topic :)
