I'm somewhat annoyed that Apple isn't offering this cable themselves, particularly since they were the ones who decided to go MiniDP first, but knowing how much Apple charges for stupid little accessories and adapters, maybe it's better that a company like MonoPrice is doing it instead. I'm just glad Apple licensed the port's specs out to manufacturers so that it didn't become an unused and stagnant standard.</p>
