I never expected complete mirroring to work via VGA adapter and iPad 1, but certain apps are supposed to support it. Penultimate for one claims to support it. I've got iOS 4.3 installed. Penultimate attempts to mirror to the monitor, but it cannot get it correct. Occasionally it displays a partial page, but mostly it just screws up. I tried to get a photo slideshow to display and that didn't work at all. I may not be setting things up correctly, but there isn't any documentation to follow or obvious settings to set. I'm miffed that a $30 VGA adapter that was obviously designed for the iPad 1 does not seem to work as advertised. I had hoped to be able to hook up to a projector for presentation slides, etc. Since this adapter was released before the iPad 2 was even announced I would expect at least some apps to work with it on the iPad 1.
