Ipad presentations and capabilities
My boss has asked me to find a solution for him to use his Ipad for presentations. I'm aware of the VGA connector from the Apple store for about $30 but it is getting horrible reviews. He wants to connect to a projector and mirror the image on his screen. He specifically wants to use Google Earth (at this time). Does anyone have experience with this? Any workarounds? Thanks!

Picture quality from component vs VGA will without doubt be much better, so I'll suggest you follow the recommendation from the poster above.

Thank you bpinning and madshjensen for your recommendation. I'm concerned that this isn't going to give him what he needs after reading the comments under the product. This one comment in particular sums up what most are saying:
"So it looks like this cable, just like Apple's disappointing VGA adapter, also does NOT simply output whatever is on the screen of your iPhone/iPad to a large display (such as the iOS interface). The sample shots only show video playing, which is exactly what Apple's cable already does. Wake me up when they make a cable like the one Steve Jobs uses during his keynote presentations: one that actually outputs the entire iOS interface to a larger screen."
Do either of you use this cable you suggested? I need to be certain that this will work. There will be many uses in court but right now he wants to project the image of Google Earth to a large screen to show the jury a specific location. He wants them to see as he zooms in on the street or block exactly what he sees on his Ipad. If the Scosche cable only shows video, I don't think this is what he wants. He wants an exact mirror of what he has on his iPad to project onto the secondary output (2nd monitor or projection screen). So if he decided to display a Word document or PowerPoint presentation, this would not work? Thanks!
