Which tablet?

Woosh!

I'm looking at the bigger picture for usability.
Irrespective of what you can use it with apart from that tablet, price, etc; at the end of the day, a cable, be that adaptor or pure cable: ie; an accessory, is needed to use them.

There's no woosh, I know what you're saying but if you're going to be pedantic about it you need an adaptor and a cable for the galaxy tab, as opposed to just a cable for the Xoom. Sure you may already have the cable to go with the adaptor, but then if you buy a mini-HDMI cable now for the Xoom you already have it next time you buy a device that uses it.

But the TF got 3.2 before the US Xoom.

Really? Google says the Wifi Xoom got it as an OTA 2 weeks before the Transformer.

proprietary cables/adapters are ghey. I'd choose standard cables any day.

Hmm at the time everyone was slagging of Motorola as the TF got 3.2 first....

How odd

I'm not getting that impression, but ho-hum!

There's nothing pedantic about pointing out that either way something is needed as its not a full size HDMI port.
The pedantic-ness comes from your specifying of "but, but, but".

Look, I've made my point of view and I stand by it, if you don't agree, that's your choice, but I wont be discussing that point any more.

I've pre-ordered the Sony S tablet with 3G

It does look very nice, was tempted by the transformer, but this tablet has definitely caught my eye.

Damn you're stubborn aren't you. Even if it had a fullsize HDMI port something would be needed, an HDMI cable. So you tell me you already have one, so what? If you already had a mini-HDMI - HDMI cable you wouldn't need to buy one either. The point is no matter what cables you might already have the Samsung Galaxy Tab requires a proprietary adaptor, I don't understand how you can't see the difference.
