Quite interesting info - thanks for sharing. Yet, considering WiFi bandwidth limitation, I don't believe it's true "mirroring" (especially in case of videos decoded via N900 dsp) - it's too much for USB, not to mention WiFi.

Anyway, fortunately, using Raspberry Pi we should be able to achieve that with FOSS components, so we're not FCKD up, if some random guy decide, that he's not going to support Maemo. Not to mention, that I bet my left shoe, that his toy would be priced 2-3x of what we need to pay for Raspberry Pi.
