On an iPad you don't need HDMI, you have airplay. Sure you need an extra $99 device, but no fiddling with cables, fixed cabling for my TV setup. That's FAR superior to any HDMI connection on any tablet. I do have a 30pin -> HDMI convertor for my iPad2, but ended up never using it because of the cable mess. And with Apple's weird pricing, an AppleTV wasn't that much more expensive than the HDMI connector for the iPad...

Btw - there are also emulators for iOS which work with BlueTooth controllers (see http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/e762/ )
