Any news about tv-out on n810? By the way it can be done, it was done with nobounds projects, but we don't know what happened to it..

qgil stated (this post and the one after it) that there will be tablets with video out capability at the Maemo Summit in September. So yes, it can be done, and Nokia is still doing it...

Yeah, I'm not convinced you want to drive the media from the tab anyway. I think the current best bet (as long as you can suffer another device) is something like this: http://drivecase.stores.yahoo.net/mestcgdiusb2.html (only smaller).
This is a media player that has host mode usb, so it will take a usb storage device, and play any media that is on it out of a TV. So you plug the n8x0 into it, and it simply acts as storage. Then use the onscreen menu to play the media.
It is too big, but I have seen smaller options - the other angle would be to get a hdd media player that had host mode usb. So it has its own storage, but also can accept an external usb storage device. And then this could also act as extended storage for the n810 for whatever (rainbow tables
)
Obviously this isn't the same as tv-out, for presentations or using the n810 as a desktop with screen and keyboard, but that isn't what this thread was getting at - at least initially.

Looks like it won't be via the 3.5mm jack anyway, the chips (both Epson and OMAP) are not connected to allow it, unless the circuit diagram I have is wrong (please!)

Can we solder ?

Steps:
-identify the required balls from the package
-create a pwb layer to put underneath OMAP, so that the TV-OUT lines can be made available, while all the others are just pass-through
-integrate all the components needed for delivering tv out from OMAP to the A/V cable
I suppose with 10 or 20 thousand euros you can find somebody who will eventually succeed with the HW hack.
