Don't know if anyone saw this about the 30FPS limit, but Boy Genius and Android Guys reported this.
Here is a quick outline. This is from a high-ranking member of HTC's Media Relations.
They were advised that the frame rate cap is hardware related, although the cap itself is imposed by the EVO's software. The reason for the limitation is directly related to the EVO's HDMI port, which, they were told, requires a sizable portion of the Snapdragon processor's output in order to operate. Subsequently, a limit needs to be placed on the amount of the processor's output that is allocated to the display.
It is speculated that to correct the problem HTC will need to release an update that automatically adjusts the EVO's frame rate when an HDMI cord is inserted into the phone.
