CEDN: What do you anticipate to be your greatest challenge in the year ahead? HM: I would say our greatest challenge of 2014 is diversifying our supply channels to include big-box retailers.

However, several brands of adapters now offer the ability to use the adapter without an external charger, although this configuration will not deliver power to the phone. The benefit of having an MHL TV (or receiver) is that power can be delivered from the TV itself. CEDN: How does MHL compare to other screen sharing solutions?
