DVI to Mini DisplayPort
Atlona has released its latest connectivity device, the AT-DP200 DVI to Mini DisplayPort converter. The box is designed to be used for attaching a DVI-enabled computer to a Mini DisplayPort monitor, such as Apple's 24-inch Cinema Display. The device supports resolutions up to 1920x1200, while retaining HDCP compatibility and EDID information.
The AT-DP200 is expected to ship sometime mid-September for $180, although the company is currently accepting pre-orders. The package includes the converter, a power supply and a 7-inch DVI cable.
why?

This seems crazy expensive, particularly since so few monitors actually support MiniDisplayport, and this is what 10 - 20% of the price of the monitor itself. h***, most monitors have multiple inputs anyway.

And the device will not carry iSight and stereo speaker signal. Just video.

iSight and audio

The iSight and audio use the USB plug, not the mini-displayport. So no functionality would be lost.
