I would stream video from my tablet to my TV in the evenings and bring it to class and work during the day. These arguments are little biased...

I'm an iPad user and would definitely use the HDMI to output to a TV. And both my 4 year old projector and our church projector, yes the projector for our church, accepts HDMI. If you're using an old school projector that only accepts VGA well then that's your problem and you should get an HDMI to VGA adapter. The benefits with HDMI is that it provides Audio as well, sorry that I'm not interested in hooking a cable to the connector on my ipad and then an audio cable to the headphone port and then all that to a VGA to HDMI adapter in order to watch Netflix on my friend's TV. Most users are not business people that need to do Keynote on their company's projector, so don't try to create this retarded excuse of saying they actually designed it right INTENTIONALLY in mind of the user. Most users are just watching Netflix or their home cable TV with say SlingPlayer, and to be able to easily connect to their bud's TV is not a "fringe" usage, it's a very normal thing to do. Microsoft has gotten this one right as much as I don't like Microsoft. I agree with pronk. I’m an iPad user and would definitely use the HDMI to output to a TV.
