Hanwha unveils HDMI / USB adapter for iPad, iPhone 4, and fourth-gen iPod touch

Feel the craving to watch your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (fourth gen) videos on your new big screen, but looking for something with a little more girth than Apple’s HDMI solution or the AirPlay video mode? Hanwha’s latest dongle might just do the job for you. As you can see above, in place of the original adapter’s dock connector port is a USB 2.0 socket — compatible with cameras supporting mass storage connection — alongside the 720p-friendly HDMI port, but you’ll have to use the switch to toggle between the two modes. And that little mini-USB port on the far right? Well, it’s there to provide some juice to “reduce battery drain,” but probably not enough to charge up your iDevice, though I think it’s still very thoughtful of them to have that. If you’re still interested and have a friend in Japan, Hanwha’s charging ¥5,980 (around $73), which is almost double that of Apple’s $39 connector. Worth it? Your call.
