Yea like a port on a portable device that can transmit digital signal to an external source of display.
That sounds just like what the patent office would approve.

Open standard.
Royalty-free (meaning Apple won't pay 0.0005 cents for every device that uses HDMI).
Can be used for Ethernet and USB transfer (both directions) along with video output.
Longer distances.
One DP cable can be split and using 2 monitors at the same time.
Impressive move Apple. Steve Jobs is such a genius. Now your fanboys will have more connectivity. Maybe your next brilliant move will be to add an SUB port to you crappy iPad.
