This article says it has embedded support to stream to TV and use a ps3 controller etc..
HOw exactly does is stream to a TV, do they mean HDMI out cable, or does it have some 'dlna' type streaming, and requires a receiver hooked to TV?

Well you didn't talk about gaming... Only about streaming to the TV.
Gaming won't work with DLNA of course. If you want to game, you need to chose the HDMI way
Is the HDMI needed a mini or micro? I've read conflicting spec sheets as to which it actually is.

Asus site says Micro, but I'll wait until I have it in my hands, so see myself which connector it is

Hello,
Has anyone tried to connect x10 with tv? Should it be connected via usb or 3,5mm jack? Maybe there is some some app needed?
THX for answear.
I suggest you read your owners manual, especially the section covering features of the X10.
Hook up a camcorder directly to the tv, and point it at whatever is playing on your x10
LOL very funny but we prefer hd and not recorded crap
You will have to wait for the DLNA support that is coming to the X10.

Of course, you will need a DLNA compliant TV/Receiver... You can probably hook up as an external drive to a USB media player, but I haven't tried it...
Again, of course you'll need all of these to be HD capable in order to get HD...
Now, while the 3.5mm audio jack question seemed a bit silly, chek here: http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/samsung-galaxy-s-video-out-through-audio-port - so I guess, theoretically it is possible...

Actually, there will be set top boxes for DLNA. HTC announce one today. It is something that I believe will work on the XBox 360 as well.
Yes, but HTC has also an hardware chip for DLNA support.
I connected it once using my brother's n900's cable. it only gave me audio on the tv

I don't think so. (for example you don't need to have special hardware chip on PC to make it DLNA compatible player, server or controler)
the video out is different .. there is hardware support needed
does tv out really need hardware support?
i was thinking about capturing screen, and then translate the signal to something you can send over usb (usb to a/v cable) to your tv ... but i lack knowledge in dealing with hardware at programming ...

I'm no expert on the subject, but if DLNA is being released in the 2.1 update (i cant remember if DLNA is this update or the next one) then maybe it would be worth trying with the connected cable after that...

Nope. DLNA is over a network.

When i want to watch stuff i've recorded i just plug my X10 into my PS3 via usb.
Hey everybody. I just ordered a Touch pad and am excited to hear about some of the adjustments you guys have made here to increase speed and overall functionality of the tablet.
In looking at the spec sheet it appears that there are no card slots so I can't use a micro SD or an SD card. I also don't see an HDMI out so I guess that I can't hook up the tablet to my TV can I?
Thanks!
No, unfortunately you are stuck with only using the internal storage. As far as I know, the only way to connect your table to a tv would be through DLNA, but not all televisions support it.
Thanks, I'll have to try DLNA. I might even look into Google TV. I believe that's what it's called.
I've been able to play video and audio from my home server on the Touchpad, but am not sure a DLNA capable TV would "see" the touchpad and any content on it. Anyone have a DLNA capable TV to test?

Well, technically you still get 50GB with Box.net with your HP TouchPad.
It works. I downloaded allshare player from the market and launched it. Now when i check dlna devices on my tv, cm tenderloin showed up and was able to play music and vids.

Thanks everyone. I can't wait till Friday when this Touch pad arrives. I'm selling my ipad 2 and I'm sending my Transformer Prime in RMA as soon as my TP gets here.
Yes, my wife calls me an Electronic Slut! But it's what I do. I'm really excited about Web OS! Especially now that it is open sourced!
Thanks again!
hi, my Xperia S is shipping to me and i’m wondering if i will able to connect it somehow to my ps3 to stream content to my HD tv without using the HDMI cable!
since i saw that there are only unofficial docks (and they can't connect simultaneously HDMI and USB) and i will use on of them to dock my phone near my bad, maybe it is possible to connect the phone to the ps3 via WiFi and then use all the functions on the tv like it was connected via HDMI, only using the ps3 "in the middle" and using the ps3 controller like remote.
In this way the controller would be used to play games too without rooting the phone like i saw here in the forums.
Am i only dreaming or you think it could be done and useful?
Thanks!
This is in no way possible. USB2.0 isnt fast enough to run video signals, never mind 802.11a/b/g/n(Wifi).

sorry but
my USB 2.0 (slow) external HD wich is a WD MyPassport is connected to my HD TV via USB 2.0 cable and i watch movies through it without any problem!
and i stream from my mac to my ps3 via wi-fi! (I can use "Playback" or "Ps3 Media Server"), sometime it lags a little bit but most of the time it works very well!
So i didn’t understand your answer, or i’m sorry but you are wrong mate! maybe you are speaking about full HD content... but i think that no-hd games and all the other stuff would work!
Dont contradict if you dont know what you're talking about.
Your USB2.0 connection to your HDD is transmitting DATA to the TV. The tv generates the actual video signal then displays it. Same way you stick a usb key in your PS3, the video signal goes over HDMI.
Its not possible.
USB 2.0's data rate (480Mbps) is faster than WiFi 802.11 a (54 Mbps) /b (11 Mbps) /g (54Mbps). n from 108Mbps upto 600Mbps.

ok now i understood, i asked two times "sorry" contradicting you so i think i didn’t committed treason!
Thanks for the explanation
so the streaming from Mac to Ps3 works in the same way, the mac transforms the content into data, send it, and then the Ps3 read that data and re-generate content sending it to the TV via HDMI.
So probably the Xperia S could send data instead of video signal to the Ps3 via Wi-Fi but the process of converting content to data - "inside" the phone - would take too much time and it would not be "real time"

USB2.0 can not and will never support 720p. Its just too slow. Its for that reason that apple have developed thunderbolt.
I don't know if you could use the phone as a DLNA server and the PS3 as a DLNA client for this (sort of like Apple AirPlay).
But I don't have an Xperia S to test this theory out with, so...
(I know my reciever can be streamed to using DLNA [from Android, WP7, and WMP] and AirPlay [Apple]).

From SONYmobile website: "The Exmor R™ for mobile camera sensor lightens up any gloomy day. Then share your pictures on a big screen. A single swipe of the display, and you can enjoy them on your tablet, TV or laptop via DLNA."
So the phone is capable to do this.
And PS3 of course can receive DLNA from a server.
Unfortunately i’m not a developer and this post was for knowledge and to give an idea to developers, since maybe an app that makes this (and other) phone(s) a media server would be interesting!

It's funny that you said that, considering people have been stream video/music over their 3G connection, which is way slower than USB2.0 or wifi. And I believe many people also watch 1080 video from youtube over their 3G too!
I think it's quite possible, considering PS3 can read files on PC over lan as media server, maybe we need an app to make XS acts as a media server? Just a suggestion.

yes i think that it will work, and there are other 2 or 3 similar apps. The thing that would be very cool would be to develop an app, starting from apps like these, that emulate the behavior that the phone and device have when connected via HDMI. With the phone like control surface too. Maybe this is impossibile

Again, these are DATA streams, not video. The 3G connection is "transferring a file" per say, not 1280x720 pixels every 50th or 60th of a second(with a few ms delay btw, while 3g connections get around 75ms+ ping).

DNLA is a great protocol and there are many apps the both host and client, but this isnt what the OP was talking about.
You could use some form of RDP(Remote desktop) but performance sucks such cases, and I presume you'd have to hack your PS3 to put a client on it.
Hi,
I'm going to buy SS official MHL cable, but I would like to know whats the best option for me to control my moble?
Actually I just want to sit on my couch/bed and watch some video content.
Should I use a mouse + keyboard? Is it actually good? I think ICS navigation by mouse is not good...
Should I use another phone/android as a controller? Is there any application?
Should I just buy a longe HDMI cable?
I want to hear people solution!

How about Allshare Cast? It's a HDMI dongle for your television wich can wirelessly mirror your phone on the screen. So you can keep the phone in your hands/pocket while watching =)
It's not too cheap though with ~90$.
There are other clients for remote viewing, including homebrew-stuff based on the Raspberry Pi micro-computer.

This is the more pratical solution, but is there any comparison between MHL vs all share cast? I don't know about the overhead in phone performance, image quality, wifi bandwidth during the streaming, etc

Ive seen those, they are all very limited! If we choose wlan screen share, the samsung own solution is the best one atm.
Afaik it uses Wifi direct, so no worries for overloading your router. That would mean you sacrifice wifi connectivity though.

I've looked at what's out there, although the sticks themselves look really small it appears that most of them need (obviously) external power as well as some kind of remote which I'm guessing would be bulky. Is there anything that can be controlled without a keyboard/mouse? Can it be controlled with another Android device?
Unlike most people, who seem to want to use the devices at home for Netflix/cordcutting purposes, I actually want one I could keep in my bag with some kind of storage (SD or USB) full of movies so I could watch them wherever I've got an HDMI screen.
Portability is important, but so is playback of local files. I care less about streaming. Ideally the device would support playing everything up to MKV direct blu-ray rips with subtitles (really critical that subtitles work). Are these android sticks fast enough to do that kind of thing off USB smoothly, with mxplayer or something?
I purchased Minix Neo G4. It plays everything including 1080p mkv via WiFi (150N).

This is a reason I went with the MK802IIIS....I can use my smart phone to control..
Remember that (most of) these sticks won't do (as the software can't) dts/ac3 passthrough over HDMI.
So expect to be using only 2.0 stereo over hdmi.

Are you talking about having the android stick mirror what is on your phone? I don't think so. Some phones with HDMI out can plug into the HDMI port on the TV and mirror.
When people talk about controlling the android stick with their phone, it means they can use their phone as essentially a touchscreen. The stick should be able to browse to any website that you can browse to on your phone. Unless you've got some kind of restrictions on your router. In that case if your phone is rooted, tether off your phone.
neo g4 come with a remote, that makes it more portable to me
