It "sort of" will.
You will need to buy *another* adaptor to plug between the MHL adaptor and the phone. Then you will have the ability to mirror to the display, but you will not have the ability to mirror *and* use the USB OTG capabilities at the same time.
With the new dongle that is released for the GSIII, you will be able to mirror to a display while also using USB OTG features.

Older versions used a 5 pin MHL. The GSIII uses an 11 pin MHL. Thus there are discreet pinouts for both USB and HDMI. If you look up the bum of your phone you will see a second row of contacts inside the USB hole.

I checked Saturday, and it wasn't in store either. They did let me order it with free delivery and using my 25% employee discount. I would have ordered it online but when I checked a few days ago, gs3 accessories could not be ordered through the employee discount page.

I chatted with a guy online and he said that i could use any micro usb to mhl cable - obviously does not know what he was talking about.
When I had an LG Spectrum, I purchased from monoprice.com and MHL adapter for $11 or so. It's got the 5 pin layout.
I ended up getting an SGS3, so I found on Amazon the Samsung 5 to 11 pin adapter for $10.
The two adapters work together just fine and I can see my phone's screen on my TV.

Yes.
The new dongle is supposed to allow a person to use USB OTG capabilities while also outputting the video to a display.

So I finally stopped by the local VZW store to use my 30% off discount and the guys in there didn't even know what I was talking about when I asked for an "MHL" dongle.
Kept trying to suggest that maybe I wanted an HDMI cable... :'(
This isn't rocket science.

Check the receipt to make sure that he ordered the right one. Unlike the idiot who ordered mine.
Really, I don't understand how someone who makes their living selling a line of products can know and understand so little about what they're selling...
