Which iPad apps support video out on the Dock Connector to VGA Adapter?
So you can't get the Dock Connector to VGA Adapter working with your Apple iPad? The reason could be that Apple has restricted video out to the following limited list of apps:
Videos
Photos - Slideshow playback only
YouTube
Keynote
Safari - Video content on webpages
These are the only native apps that are currently supported in conjunction with the VGA accessory cable.
UPDATE: Netflix supports video out

More of the same from Apple. "You do it the way we say or you don't do it".
Apple is on the cutting edge of innovative products. It's a shame Steve Jobs has such a limited view beyond that. It really drags the company down.
Apple doesn't seem to realize that this is how products like Android will gain ground on them.
I need to hook the iPad up to a projector to train teachers on how to use it. Sure will be hard to show them without the projector and screen!
My favorite teacher wants an iPad, and I'm showing her everything the device has to offer. She wants to hook it up to her projector, which she never uses.
Several apps support video out. Like any app, it needs to have the ability put into the programming.
Some additional apps with video out:
-Pocket Universe
-Art Authority
-Brushes/Sketchbook
-Office2 (supposedly other word processors as well)
Anything you can get in goodreader is fab! - Love to use PDF from there
Air Video now supports GS out on iPad.
Check out iDemoWeb. It is an iPad app that mirrors Safari to VGA. Use it to display your web site or web app on a big screen. If you want to project PowerPoints, you may want to take a look at MightyMeeting for iPad.
I really hope this gets "fixed" soon. I highly anticipated using my iPad to deliver presentations/demos of websites. Not allowing Safari to utilize the vga out makes the vga adapter kind of useless to me.
Try the 2Screens - Presentation Expert app...very impressive, with the ability to project browser content. Avoid using the Projector! App as it crashes.
it wasn't on apple's end necessarily, it's up to the developers themselves to put that coding in their app when they develop it... apple has made that incredibly easy to do, it's just up to the dev...
But Safari is an Apple app. That it doesn't support VGA-out (except to display videos playing within web pages) is frustrating and annoying to me. Quite.
Main reason I bought iPad was to do web based presentations.
Do not need web video, need to s how websites. This is an apple application that can be fixed internally
A simple task to enable VGA out for presentation. I would have never thought of asking for such a basic function of the $800 device. It should be built in to the OS, just like MACOSX. Come on Steve, are you kidding me! www.bluekaboom.com
Try the app Expedition-VGA. Does a reasonably good job with web pages. I agree that Apple dropped the ball on this VGA thing. I suppose it is all to make more money.
Try the app named Browser. It does VGA out put of webpages.
