Hi Matthias,

that's good to know, but for me, the "killer app" would be to have both my manuscript and the presentation on the same device (and an iPod would just be too small for that). So the question is: could you see pdf A on the screen and drive pdf B with the TV out cable? Apple told me this was not possible. I can live with the other restricitions, I think.
