so the way i read it the evo is not limited with hdmi out like the droid x is. it's a shame moto would handicap the droid x and put this restriction in place. i wonder how many people would actually use it anyway.
One of the biggest selling points for me GONE... HDMI out

You could probably feed a projector (with some things) if it accepted HDMI input. I doubt you could feed a PC without specialized equipment.
Sad... :-(

are you sure??? Cause that is now F'd... a DVD converted to DIVX IS User Generated.....
I betcha you can play your own videos from your SD-Card. No promises, but I bet that it's doable. That would be insanely stupid for them to block.

OK, it seems people think that there are phones out with HDMI outs that act like a popcorn media center. From what I have been reading (not very much, chime in and enlighten me anytime) Anything out right now does the same. What's the problem, if we never had the ability to rip hulu from our devices? What devices do? Jeez mang, it is just the way it is right now across the tech platform. I am sure the droid X will get hacked, someone will become a god, and we will be the first to rip stuff off the web to our TV's from our phones!
Enlighten me, what phone pout there is doing this dashing your hopes? I know it ain't the iPhone

Well, word is (and correct me if I'm wrong since there's a LOT of misinformation going around) that while YouTube is something that the Evo will output, the Droid X will not output it. Who knows what else there is. I think that's where people are saying the Droid X is more restrictive than others.

Is there an article that confirms this? A video? Is it an app? I agree, the misinformation is abound.OK, it seems people think that there are phones out with HDMI outs that act like a popcorn media center.

Just a quick googling....
Evo w/Youtube over HDMI
Droid X w/o Youtube over HDMI

You know, from those articles you posted, it seems the EVO is the most restrictive....here is a direct quote from the EVO article

Yeah, but according to the article you posted, the you tube app/hdmi on the evo is junk...here is a quote
I would rather be able to post pics of my family with the X "on the fly" than a gunky you tube app that doesn't work:icon_ banana:Maybe that evo can rock a CRT tv....only if they had HDMI in's....X wins IMO because of the omap capabilities, and I hear the EVO is crippled to 30 fps because of the "famous" snapdragon? What do you think?
how bout rosie o'donnell?
