I thought only greedy Apple was guilty of changing adaptors? Looks like the moron PhAndroid lapdogs get milked by Samsung yet again, and again, and again.... Samsung Galaxy S III not compatible with previous MHL-HDMI adapters, requires new one. Actually, the way Samsung handled this is horrific - we don’t know the exact reason, but it turns out now that the SGS III requires a special MHL adapter. First, an explanation. MHL is the port on the bottom of your device that acts as a gateway for both charging the device and connecting it to external displays. For the latter, you need an MHL to HDMI adapter, a simple dongle that allows you to further connect to an HDMI cable and a TV/monitor. All good so far - we’ve seen the same mechanism work in the Galaxy S II, we’ve bought the MHL adapter, and now we’re happy that we can use this in the SGS III... not. UK retailer Clove who just got the new MHL-HDMI adapter explains why: “Any previous MHL adapter will not work with the S3 due to the pin layout.” It’s not a huge deal as the adapter itself costs £24.98 including tax (that’s $39), but it’s annoying.
