Well, add in the hidden small-order shipping charges and the price approaches my earlier US$10 guestimate. From an industrial engineering standpoint, I prefer a microHDMI-to-HDMI cable because there's less of a lever sticking out of the microHDMI socket. These things become attractive nuisances---just right for ripping that delicate socket off the board (don't bother asking how I know such things can happen on a test bench!). As for cable prices, it seems obvious to me that the HDMI-cable vendors have studied the Monster Cable playbook for selling outrageously overpriced pieces of wire. Sprinkle fairy dust over your product laced with technical verbiage like high definition, phase shift, plug-n-play, and all the rest, and then sell to yuppie scum who already own outrageously overpriced handheld devices. Oh, wait, I've got some of those in my family....guess I'll go on a scavenger hunt. And I like running headless. So there :-) Regards, Kent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
