Is there any way to hook the new 2011 MacBook Pro's to an external monitor, projector, or TV?

Any idea when there will be cables to use the Thunderbolt port?
 
thunderbolt instead

I have a thunderbolt port, does that work as the mini-display port? It's not the same as past models I thought?

DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (optional)
VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (optional)
Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter supports 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display (optional)
