You can buy adapters from Apple, like I did, but they are overpriced, and you can’t go directly to HDMI; you have to do that fancy Mini DP to DVI to HDMI trick. I’ve done it, and by the way, it’s not that fun.
Monoprice will be releasing their adapter in just over a month, so it won’t be too much longer now that you’ll have to suffer without it. They’re going to be priced at $14.25 or less; the more you buy, the cheaper they get. You really can’t go wrong at that price. I know I’ll be picking one up when they are available.
Who knows, in that much time, we might have a new Mac Mini from Apple. That computer would definitely be equipped with a Mini DisplayPort connection. Monoprice’s adapter would effectively turn this rumored Mac Mini into the Ultimate Home Theatre Mac. Now, if only we can convince Apple to put a Blu Ray drive in it, too…
