The blogs seem to be really excited about Real Racing 2 running at 1080p on your TV, via the HDMI adapter. While it’s a step in the right direction for iOS as a gaming platform, there are still some glaring issues. It’s still pretty disappointing that you can’t do this completely wirelessly.
Having to pay Apple for an expensive adapter, that’s pretty Apple-like. Having to sit a couple of metres from your big screen TV holding a flat, unergonomic device with a bulky cable out the side; well that’s pretty un-Apple-like. If I had to guess I would say that more than 90% of HDMI cables sold so far have been under 2 metres in length. My TV and couch are (a slightly excessive) 3+ metres apart and I’m not a) moving my couch closer, or b) sitting on a kitchen chair in front of a 50” TV just to “game”.
Don’t get me wrong, this is really exciting - but it’s not ready until the Apple TV is even remotely useful.
