Indeed. This would be a great feature. Of course, it should be possible with USB-OTG given the right equipment. I know there are USB-VGA/USB-DVI devices out there. This device, for example uses USB to add a second monitor to your PC. The performance isn't great, but at a resolution of 800x600 with a reduced colour palette the performance was adequate; certainly enough for quick presentations/demonstrations/video. Of course, the internals will determine additional bottlenecks, reducing speed.

Does anyone know what the N800/N810's USB throughput is? I'm not sure how one would accurately measure this, but it would be interesting to see how close it gets to the theoretical 480Mbps spec. :P How about bluetooth or wi-fi?

I think video out is a great idea. I personally would rather use USB/Bluetooth as a connectivity method, rather than adding more ports to the device. Of course, this is assuming that performance is good. With new portable LED projectors, it would turn into a killer presentation machine, allowing you to carry the remote (Nxxx) with you, while you present.

YARR!
