Video Out Cables for the iPhone and the iPad

Storing photos and videos on your iPhone or iPad seem common but sharing them may need the aid of some accessories. And rather problemize how you can hook them on to your HDTV set or projector, here are some handy Video Out Cables that should do the trick.

The iPhone Video Out Cable allows you to play movies, music videos, TV shows, YouTube clips, or even just still pictures that you have stored on your iPhone, newer model iPod or iPad. It will even do Netflix off the iPad. IIt’s part of the made for iPod program and incorporates Apple’s Dock Connector with the new Authentication Chip. There’s even a USB connector included so you can charge up your iPhone or iPod while you watch your videos on the big screen.

These Video Out Cables are available over at Thinkgeek for only $34.99.

After much controversy and waiting, Apple’s iPhone will finally be available in China starting October. This developed after Apple and China Unicorn reached an accord regarding the authorized distribution of the popular iPhone 3G in the mainland.

News about the iPhone venturing into China broke out the past months and after many considered the effort futile, everything has been finally settled. With the deal, Apple now enters one of the biggest mobile markets known today.

Chinese users will get the iPhone 3G with 8GB for $365 with a 2-year contract and a monthly rate of $27 (minimum). The Wi-Fi function will be disabled initially but may be added in the future, along with China’s homegrown WAPI (WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure) standard.

The iPhone 3GS is expected to follow suit as soon as the first batch of iPhones are officially distributed to Chinese natives. It will be interesting to see how Dell will react to Apple’s move with its China-only smartphone “mini 3i”, which is neither priced nor dated yet.
