Does this work for an iPad 3rd generation with ios8.1? How reliable is the cable?

It's reliable. As long as you have a 30 pin connector and a hdmi cable your fine

I've tested it with ipad3 5.1.1 only. But I suppose it can work with any ios compatible device. At least higher that 5.0

It did not work with my iPad 2 after I upgraded to iOS 8.1. I have not tried other devices.

It's not an apple certified product. It's third party and it's not worth it. It will work, question is for how long?!.... Just buy an original cable and save yourself the headache.

I have the 1st generation iPad and I was able to charge it with this cable.

Andy, I use this with my iPad 2 and it works like a champ. It is a very solid piece of hardware and I couldn't be happier.

I have an IPad 2 and it works just fine.My wife has the IPad 3 and they are exactly the same.

as said below, it should work great! I've only used it with an iphone 4 and 4s and a couple of other I-devices, but basically anything with that connector (ie. anything but an iphone 5 or ipad 3) will work with this cable as of 2/25/12

I have ipad2 and ipad3 and both work ok. Sometimes with ipad3 there are stability issues, where the image comes in and out. I pretty much have to close all running apps on the ipad to make sure there is no interruption. I'm not sure whether that is cable's fault since this never happens with ipad2. But over all it works well.

I purchased the charging cord for an iPad 3 - works perfectly for iPad 3. The description/ specs state "iPad 1 through 3."

It works fine with my iphone 5s but the end that plugs into the phone or iPad (I have the iPad 4 with retina) had a tendency to separate exposing the wires. I've sent two of them back for replacement. Frankly I've yet to find a durable cable and I've tried most...including Apple. The cheap ones fromChina that look like white ones manufactured for Apple are just that - cheap and absolute junk. Stay away from them. As my father taught me, you tend to get what you pay for.

If you plug the usb cable into a power source it will charge. It works with iPad 1,2,3.

Yes it works fine with IOS7. However I disagree with the "much more durable" comment above - my cable is thinner than for the OEM Apple Lightning cable.

I have a 1st Generation iPad and this cable does indeed charge both that device and my iPhone 4S.

It works for mine, though the cable I have will sometimes cause the "incompatible accessory" message. A genuine Apple cable (or an approved third-party cable) would prevent that.

I use this with the iOS 7 and I don't get any errors what so ever with this charger!!!

I purchased this cable - works fine with my 5S - I did not get any reliability message
