HSDP is a promise, not a feature and the FM transmitter sounds wonky from the accounts I'm reading lately. The FM transmitter seems like a waste of circuitry, considering they should have concentrated on excellent Bluetooth HSP/A2DP. Speaking of 20th century. Heh... FM transmitter. :P
I think it depends on your use cases. For example, I use my IR and FM Transmitter quite often. And there are or places cars that don't have bluetooth or an AUX input. And I can't use any WiFi capable device to control my XBOX 360 when I don't want to turn on the controller. Likewise my TV for the one and blue moon I ever turn it on (I have a 360 hooked up to an LCD monitor).

The TV Out is definantly dependent on that too. While having some sort of HDMI output would be nice, it would only work on one TV in my house, and when I travel I may or may not be able to use it depending on the hotel I stay in. While most HDTVs do have composite as backwards compatibility for devices like the Wii that don't have it.
