Im not a programmer or anything but someone wrote an app called Real HDMI which unblocked the hdmi port on the Droid X. Could and hdmi driver be written into a rom and REAL HDMI be modified to work with the Galaxy Tab 2 to use the existing HDMI docks? Since both use TI chips it may be worth a shot?

Hi everybody.
Already search the whole Web but didn't find any solution that could fit to me.
I'm using a Nokia N8 and i'm tired of this Symbian OS and its poor capabilities.
But i love the HDMI output, the USB OTG feature and the 12 mpx camera with Xenon flash. It's just the poor variety of customization and apps that makes me want to switch to Android.
I'm here to ask you if you know any device Android-based that has at least HDMI and USB OTG feature.
I found the Motorola XT720 which has HDMI and Xenon flash but its processor (720 mhz) makes the phone feel a bit laggy when using applications that involve lots of resource.
I also has a look at the Galaxy S II which has USB OTG but it doesn't have HDMI.
So do you know any device that fits my likes (HDMI and USB OTG)? I'm searching for any device that has Android on it, that it's ported (like the N900) or not, it doesn't mind.
Better if it has also a good processor so i can put some heavy applications to use while waiting at the hospital or something.
Thanks in advance, guys!
I've also seen the Nokia N9 specifications.
ARM Cortex-A8 OMAP3630 of 1 GHz with a GPU PowerVR SGX530.
It has almost same features (not sure about HDMI but sure USB OTG) on N8 but thinner.
But what it really convice me on waiting the release date and buy this device is that it has MeeGo!
As far as i can remember, the N900 had Maemo, which is the father of MeeGo, and the N900 could have been ported even to Android 2.3.
So the devices i have in mind are:
-Motorola Milestone XT720
-Samsung Galaxy S II
-Nokia N9
What do you think?

The Galaxy S2 has MHL, which allows you to stream video from the microUSB port.
All you need is an MHL-HDMI adapter and you're sorted.
anyone tried yet to plug a beamer with a USB to VGA adapter? for pesentations e.g. i'm really excited about the TF101 but not sure if it may replace a netbook!
Instead of USB to VGA, your mini HDMI port (to VGA) will be more promising. I just ordered an adapter over eBay. I'll let you know when I eventually get it from China. I plan to teach with my Tf, by annotating PDF files using ezpdf reader.
Usb to vga adapters require to install drivers, and then all the work is on the cpu. A friend has one, and while he enjoys it for internet, after a quick test he can't even watch videos as it's too slow. This on a core duo 2.
Also as already said, the Transformer has a mini HDMI built in: while it's limited to the same resolution of the screen, it does work very well.

A decent quality screen with a resolution of ~ 1024x600
Bluetooth
HDMI out (mini, micro, mhl)
and....well that's pretty much it. I seem to find a lot of one or the other. For example the Archos 70 has hdmi out but an 800x400 screen. The Ainol Novo 7(aurora/elf) has 1024x600 and hdmi out but no bluetooth. I thought I'd be allright without Bluetooth but the more I think about it, I use Torque to diagnose people's engine codes sometime and would like to continue doing that with whatever tablet I end up with.
I do like the Motorola Xyboard even though it's 8.2 inches however I can't get that without being tied to verizon for 2 years of their terrible data plan, so that's out =/
Hopefully I'm overlooking something and the answer is right in front of my face.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus or the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7
Both available in Wifi only so no need for contracts....

yeah samsung galaxy is a good bet.
I assume they both require a docking station to use HDMI?
Not the ideal solution, but certainly doable. Noted and thank you!
any suggestions as to an hdmi dock for samsung galaxy tab 2 7in
The 7 inch model is not HDMI capable, due to its cheaper components it uses. Sorry. You need to use DLNA or similar in order to stream or transfer its media.
I'm evalueting to buy a tablet eather for work and chill
I'm in search of only one "special" feature the MHL support aka usb to hdmi support for use it with old projectors and monitors who doesn't support mirroring
It is possible that almost every phone has this implementation but not so much tablets?
I' m watching to something similar to the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 for specs, price and accesories (pen and a proper keyboard)
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks
