Or don't do that, remain with your current phone, choose (as rainisto mentioned) the Raspberry Pi, save money and marvel at the lack of talent, inspiration and originality of the creators of Samsung Galaxy S2, 3, 4, 5 and 1242534 with all their features.
P.S. Which have already been bettered by the LG LS970 (an equally forgettable phone by itself).

So far it seems like the N9 cannot posses the hdmi feature due to lack of a dual processor but the N8 had less of a processor

Symbian^3 OS
680 MHz ARM 11

But still had the hdmi option. Is there something else hardware wise that is required?

Or could this feature be added by an experienced coder


...Yes I just noticed Lumia does not have hdmi feature guy in shop must have lied... Anyway

dsp does the video processing, n9 has a shitty one like in n900 just clocked a bit higher, new symbian phones have magical broadcomm gpu with superb dsp, especially nokia 600, 700, 701 and 808 with the newer version of the chip

my guess would be that omap soc that is in n9 does not even support hdmi output, but i wont even bother to check

I use push-up app and push videos to media renderer over wifi. Pushing 1080p video to wdtvlive while writing this. Much better then using cable. Can carry my phone around and use while playing all kind of media on tv and hometheater system;)

and how much does that setup cost when compared to a few $ hdmi cable costs? are you saying that people should spend $100+ just so they can play videos form their n9 decently (and this is playing videos FROM n9 but not WITH n9 so why even use n9 in this setup)

My Commodore 64 cannot play 720p videos, what cable do I need to enable it? Would it possible if I get HDMI cable?

Answer to original question in this thread (Is it possible) is: hdmi is NOT possible in harmattan.

Are you on drugs or something, there is no hdmi connector, there is no hdmi enabled hardware inside N9, it was decided at very early design phase that there is no business case for 720p video output thus there is no hardware in the device. N8 was 'the camera' Symbian (totally different operating system, different product family and targets to different end users), so in N8 there was case for hdmi output.

Hdmi cables are cheap, but where are you planning to plug it in, the hole where no sun ever shines?

PS. this is yet again duplicate thread, you should just go to http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=79146 (Video playback epic fail: My N8 plays 1080p My N9 couldn't even play 720p). That thread is dedicated to Symbian N8 whiners who don't understand that there can be hardware differences and that some things will differ between operating systems (and not all missing hardware cannot be fixed with software).
