Connecting the iphone as in the keynote
How was the iPhone connected using a cable during the keynote? Looked like there were two cables.
Anything special about how this was done? If not could the iPhone be connected to a projector and /or monitor for presentations instead of a laptop?
Would a monitor be an issue because of the iPhones screen resolutions?
The projected image looked really clear in the keynote.

I presume via USB and using some or other custom software only Apple have.

A. There are forums for iPhones, this is for "The company, technology, warranty issues, resellers etc."
B. Steve said at MacWorld 07 that the iPhone had a special board on it for outputting to the screen, so it sounds like it's actually hardware based, meaning it can't be done on regular iPhones.

Not only does it put out its video, but also controls something to tell the keynote when it's flipped horizontal.
It's a seriously modded iPhone lol

How much do you think it would go for on eBay?
Bear in mind that there's only 1 of them... (but Apple can always make more)...
Imagine how much you'd have to hack the firmware/baseband to make it do THAT! HA!

bennyling - it wouldn't work for you. The SSS encryption would freeze you out.

Was originally posted in iPhone Guides and How-to's - MacTalk Forums. Moved here by a moderator I presume. Just so you know.
Looks like it's not a standard feature then. Could be handy seeing you can run Keynote Presentations on the iPhone it seems.

yeah but surely each presenter connected their own iphone to the cable to demonstrate things: Phil Schiller had his own one connected, some of the app developers had their own ones connected....

No they didn't?
They just used the same one.
Look how many home screens there were on the iPhone (I would say around 7-8) and each demo would just 'flick' to the next screen to start their app/game. |

Apple would have to have a special version of Keynote too, I'm guessing.

I think it is only software, cause the phone can output both audio and video to external devices no problem.

Maybe it was a dev-kit iphone. Made so they can run apps and use the phone to debug and so forth, as well as having video out. Sure theres a simulated iphone in the sdk but that might be for us app makers who can not get a dev-kit iphone.
