VGA Adapter to Project the "Watch ESPN" App?
My non-apple product vga adapter projects existing pictures and videos from both my i-phone 3 and 4. However, I cannot get it to project espn. Will any adapter work or is there some "block" from Apple or even the App developer? Thanks.

Best Answer:It shouldnt, however I have not hooked it up with a VGA adapeter as you show. I do know, from personal use, the IBG Star works with iPod 2-current, iPhone 3-4S, and iPad (although not mentioned on box or info). When I get a chance to play with it a bit more I will update my post. Maybe someone will beat me to the punch, which is great!

Best Answer:
The first answer to this question is completely inaccurate. Any iPad that is model iPad 2 or later, as well as iPhone 4S or later, will mirror the display. I have tested and confirmed this with an iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Any and all apps will mirror to the external display through the Apple 30-pin to VGA adapter with these newer devices - no Apple TV required.

My TV has a female input plug (as do most PCs) does the connector come with a male to male convertor? How else can I use this connector to my TV?

AnswerThe VGA dongle is female. When you connect the adapter to the IPad you now have the same set up as a laptop computer. Whether you are connecting a laptop, desktop, or VGA adapted IPad, you need a standard VGA cable that is male on each end to connect your computer (IPad) to your output screen, which is a TV in your case.
