I'd never heard of MHL until a few minutes ago.  I'm wondering where I can find a list of devices that currently support it?  I don't think my Kyocera Hydro Edge phone supports it but I'm wondering about the Venue 8 android since it just came out in the last couple of months.  I see Dell sells a couple of monitors that support MHL and it would be nice to be able to hook my venue 8 up to it and watch movies I've got stored on the tablet without moviing them to the desktop etc.  I see dozens of different adapters on ebay with different connectors on the end (hdmi etc.).  So tell me how this works, if the device supports it do you need one of those twenty dollar doo dads or is it just the matter of a cable?  Where can I find some in-depth info on MHL?
