iPod/iPhone -> TV
I know there is this option:
Apple Store (Australia) - Apple Composite AV Cable
but can anyone tell me what happens on screen when you are not watching a movie or looking at photos?

Does it just show whatever you are doing on the iPod/iPhone?

(I'm more interested in its behaviour with an iPod Touch )

Be aware, iPhones with 2.1 need an (overpriced) Apple AV cable.
3rd party cables won't work (and mine doesn't even with and Apple cable).

See this thread:
2.1 Update changes AV output??
