Anyone know where I can get a cheap, but reliable MHL cable at? I really want to test the video out on this thing.

Only one out right now is Samsung's, which is $33.99. The Sensation one is coming, and Expansys has a branded one for $16.99 as well.

You need an adapter. There aren't any available for anything less than $30.

You need a MHL converter/cable in addition to a HDMI cable

Why?

I was trying to figure what this MHL is all about.
Doing some reading it looks like the only reason for the MHL part is if you are going to be using an MHL capable TV which would charge your phone and allow you to control it with the TV remote.
If the TV that you are going to hook up to is not MHL capable (which I am pretty sure mine and most others as well), would the USB to HDMI cable work since we will not be needing the MHL part of the cable.
Just trying to figure out what we all need as there is no reason to by the one with HML if it is not used on any of my HDMI components?
