The 2X has it, does the Atrix have HDMI Mirroring? Not sure it's even necassary, but would be nice.
HDMI Mirroring?

Thanks
It means that anything on your screen is also displayed on the TV or monitor. The difference is that phones like the Droid X only allowed certain things such as DRM free movies to pass through.
I heard that it doest. When you plug it into a TV it runs linux. You can pull a window containing your phones UI in full screen though. It will not have mirroring out of the box. An app (or rooting) may solve the problem.
This is news to me but a necessary an awesome feature. Should be standard on all new Android based phones

I don't see it listed

It could be a feature of Tegra2 though as the LG Optimus 2X has it. Perhaps it's another one of those things that will come after release like the 1080p recording.

Anyone know about the moto bionic? i know its not quite the right thread but its close so i figured i'd pop it in real quick.
If no mirroring, then what does the EVO display via HDMI out. If it doesn't mirror what's on the phone screen, what is the point? HDMI is pretty useless if it doesn't mirror. That's one of the reasons I got an EVO.
After playing with the Atrix at CES last weekend. I can confirm that it does have mirroring, but through the webtop interface. The interface basically runs an emulation of the phones screen. Although I'm a VZW guy. I'm honestly really jealous of this device and can't wait to see some of the features, Laptop dock specifically, for some of the future VZW droids. I've got photo's and video's of the device if anyone is interested.
There IS hdmi Mirroring........when you connect it to a TV, it will give you the option for entertainment center mode or "do nothing" mode. "Do nothing" mode will simply mirror your screen on the TV instead of launching into Moto's entertainment center styled UI with your phone's screen turning into the remote.
It doesn't mirror, what it does is display certain videos, ad pictures on a tv or music through the tv speakers. You cant generally see a copy of whats on your phone's screen, play games, watch protected media, or look at your browser, on the TV, among other things. That feature on the EVO only works for a small subset of what you probably would want to use it for. It was the best available at the time as most of last years processors couldn't handle true screen cloning.
1080p is coming? Where'd you see this? The 2X has it, but I would think that if the Atrix had it, moto would have made sure you knew, even if it was a "coming soon" feature. Edit: Nevermind, I saw it in your link. Sweet.
Thanks.
I don't think it was the processors fault, there were apps that allowed you to do it iirc. My Galaxy S did as well, but it was through the 3.5mm port with crap quality.
No, it's definitely the processor. You could probably do some fake mirroring in software but the performance would be bad.
First off you are comparing a hummingbird based SoC from Samsung to the first gen Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor (SGX540 >> Adreno200). Secondly there is a huge difference from mirroring 1080p through HDMI vs "crap quality" through the 3.5mm headset jack (I am very interested to see how you output video over that jack btw.)
The Galaxy S series has the third ring on the female end of it's 3.5mm jack, it carries the video through a 3.5mm to composite RCA cable.
