Wow, the TV.com app works with HDMI output!

Just tried it. It's good that more than just the Gallery, Youtube, Videos work for HDMI out.

App developers are able to access HDMI, they just have to put a few lines of code in their apps. Just suggest it to the developers.

But if they do not put in these few lines of code, there app cannot display out the HDMI? Why woulnd't Google just make that code be standard?

Here's hoping that this gets expanded to other apps as well. (ahem, Sprint TV)

I agree with you, but the the Andoird OS 1.0 came out, no one really was thinking of HDMI as a priority. It's now that the phone is so feature packed that we can start taking advantage of the more luxury features.

Why would you want to watch such low res on a large screen? That would look worse than bad.

Exactly, why would I watch such crappy res on my 50" plasma

Um . . . because he can?

Unnecessary. Just trying to answer yet another "I don't like that idea and therefore neither should you" comment. But let's just forget it.

Sounds good.

It's good to know what the device is capable of, or not capable of. I love these kind of threads that inform us about our device. There is some wow factor here as well. It's pretty cool to be able to watch streaming TV content on your phone and then pipe it back our to your TV. I wasn't going to install this app, but I think I will now. Thanks!
