Thank you Henry but I have discovered that there is an adapter that fits the docking plug on the ipad dock which in turn fits the Ipad mini smaller plug. Useful also for all other bits like the charging plug

All the docks I have tried are not recognized by the new iPad, unfortunately. My have to revert back to my mini laptop.

No. I read online that it would fit with the smart case, but I found out otherwise. Yes, it will fit in the dock if you only want to use it as a stand, but the connector will not be able to make a connection, so it is just a stand, not a dock. Perhaps the person who claimed it would was confusing the smart case with the smart cover.

Yes. I actually prefer it over the iPad 2 dock for these reasons: The front facing lip on the iPad 2 dock, although its heavier, provides more substantial support for the iPad, and less stress on the connector, it gets in the way of the SmartCover. I like having the iPad 2 docked with the SmartCover in place, which is NOT easily done with the iPad 2 dock, as ridiculous as that sounds! Secondly, the clean line of the IPad 2 face is obstructed with a white gash across the bottom of the black surface of the iPad. Now, if you have a white iPad 2, that's a far cleaner look. Personally, we use the white iPad 2 with the original iPad dock. Works very well and has a far better overall appearance.

Of course. Many are listed in the Apple Store. You can also purchase USB-Cigarette adapters at electronics retailers.

Assuming that you have an HDTV that accepts RGB HD connections, you can buy the HD Component Cable for the iPad and stream movies (movies from iTunes, movies that you have RIP'd from DVD's, movies that you might download, or any other type of video that can play on the device) to your TV. But your iPad must be close to the TV and you can't use a remote control this way. This is not convenient at all.

What is convenient and very cool is the Apple TV ($99) with a home networking system, your iPad, and an HD TV. Using the free app "REMOTE" made by Apple, you can completely control your Apple TV with your iPad wirelessly, anywhere in your home by using basically the whole screen for touch controls.

What is also cool with this setup is that you can watch any videos that you have on your computer as well as any videos on your iPad, or any videos that you have at YouTube, Flickr, and Netflix. You get to use the keyboard on the iPad to type for searching, to type for inputting your account information and such. Rather than using the remote control to slowly move the cursor around until you are on the right letter and then you have to click again just to register one letter, while if you use the iPad, you just simply type away very easily and much faster.

So it is much easier to use the Apple TV with an HDMI HD connection from the Apple TV to your HD TV makes for crazy clear video on your TV, and it operates wirelessly, anywhere in your home, and you not only can play anything on your iPad, but you can also play anything on your computer right from your iPad. Playing a video from your computer using your iPad via the Apple TV allows you to use your iPad for whatever you want while the video is playing. If you use any cables, you cannot use your iPad while a video is playing, and that is bad.
