AnswerNo.
This adapter allows you to connect only one more display.
The limit for displays on a MacBook Pro is 2 (including the display on the laptop, which may NOT be substituted for a second external monitor).
If you wish to add more displays, you can use an external USB Video adapter, however these refresh much slower (sometimes making video too poor to use).
These aren't available from Apple as they're a low quality solution and not practical.

I bought the 2.66 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. In addition to the DVI to HDMI cable, would I be able to output the video to my HDTV?
I bought the 2.66 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. In addition to the DVI to HDMI cable, would I be able to output the video to my HDTV? I understand I need audio cables as well, which I have. Does a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI exist to "cut out the middle man?"

AnswerTo answer your first question, yes, with the setup you have, you should be able to output HD video to your TV. Granted you purchased the proper DVI-D to HDMI cable as indicated in the reviews and questions above.
The second question, no, currently there is no Apple sponsored Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter in existence, and if it did exist, it would have been available for you to purchase when you checked out.- Answered by Tony B
