Your information is a tad outdated and confusing - maybe wrong.

HDMI 1.3 provides a theoretical data rate of 10.2 Gbps

USB2 provides a theoretical data rate of 480 Mbps.
USB3 is roughly about 5Gbps, however most manufacturers wont even begin to put this on their boards until 2011.

So can the N900 do HD resolution? Probably not enough grunt. 1024x768 pixels is the lower end of the scale for the HD buzzword to apply.
