No HDMI-output is a bummer

For the most part I think MS did a great job in setting high-quality standards for their first gen phones and I'm very satisfied with my Focus. But the greedy power-nerd in me wishes the phones came with HDMI-output.
I'm a little confused as to why MS would leave this out actually. It is coming standard on a lot of high-end phones now. Unless they plan to use the Xbox 360 as an AirPlay-like streaming box (I don't know if you can do that as of now because I don't own one), how does MS expect to offer a competing video out feature?
I remember hearing a story about how MS was planning to introduce a USB-out feature and if they do that would be great because it would be cheaper than the ripoff third party HDMI docks. But I'm worried it won't be able to match up to HDMI's quality.
Anyway, I know this isn't a big deal and it shouldn't be at the top of the fixes/additions list for MS. But can you blame a guy who recently got a 50-inch? I want to use the damn thing for something besides football!
EDIT: I found the PocketNow article about USB A/V out. http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/report-microsoft-bringing-microusb-a-v-out-to-windows-phone-7

they miss a standard IO port for using external addons hardware too

A Case To Keep Your Phone Cool...

Since the dawn of the smart phone, these little power houses are crammed with more processor speeds and memory than a desktop computer.
All the while, these little hot suckers are totally dependent on 'PASSIVE' cooling.
Right now, i'm sporting a very stylish T-Mobile G2 from HTC. I use my phone for everything under the sun. I'm thinking about using it for frying my eggs for a meal, because sometimes, my little phone get so HOT while using it for navigation, and various other tasks that tax the battery and GPS, it's almost unbearable to touch.

I purchased a mobile phone holder for my bike (ON AMAZON HERE) which works EXCELLENT! Except, its not allowing my phone to breath. I like the fact it's weather proof, but at a price of a over-heated device.
I'm thinking about hacking this case, and installing a small CPU fan attached to a solar panel for power. Which I would have to drill holes in the front somewhere to allow the air to flow over my phone.
I wish someone can make a case out of heat dispersion technology found with something like what they sell here. http://thermapak.com/
Any links to another product or any ideas?

[Q] Tripod?

Does anyone have a tripod for this phone? I've looked around and many aren't big enough. I cannot seem to find anyone specifically mentioning this phone with it's extra largeness.
Thanks!

I would also like to know if anyone found one.
I looked a bit on ebay and amazon but didnt find any good quality ones for the right price.

Mobile Grip Mini Fold-Up Smartphone Tripod
Works with pretty much any phone up to 4.6" screen. Also, if you take off the holder and adapter, you can use it with any digital camera / camcorder with a 1/4"20 screw mounting hole.

Ok THAT is freaking AWESOME!!
Ordered. enter pocketnow for 5% off (90cents off hey 90cents is 90cents)
I just REALLY hope it works with my Epic Touch INSIDE its tough case. I don't ever remove it from the case (and its a pain to remove it anyway)
this is SO EXACTLY what I have been looking for!

Found writing on the back of my LCD /mildlyinteresting

Shattered my One X's screen a while back and finally built up enough courage to replace it myself. When I took out the old LCD there's handwritten notes on the back, I'm assuming they didn't do this for all of them, so thought it was mildly interesting enough to post here.

It's chinese for "You got rickrolled" HAHAHA

They do this on production lines all the time. QC marker pens stuff. Some supervisors use the back of components (that customers will never see) to do quick mathematical sums.

I had writing on it, too. I can make a photo tomorrow

The dude who designed the Honda cbr fireblade used to (very occasionaly) sign his name and write things like "happy bikin!" behind the fairing of a random few on the line. A kind of Easter egg I suppose.
Happens all the time, search wiki for 'easter egg'. Though yours is probably just QC scribbles.

Google Support says its normal.

The gap shown in the picture shouldn't be there.

Best Joke ever: Google Support says its normal.

I agree, that gap should not be there. Not on mine. Call them back, tell them you went to Best buy or a VZ store to compare and you have this big gap that they don't.
You said you just got it, return it to where you bought it so you don't get stuck with a refurbished from Google..... assuming you bought it new.

Reading the chat history in the picture, the employee might think of the speaker cutout. You could try to highlight the gap in some color.

This slot is normal, try gently using a clean soft bristle toothbrush to sweep it out. That's what I do. Works great for the speaker grills and charging port as well!

You are right but this was the Beginning of the Chat. They know now what i mean but says the Photos are not enough and want a Video or more Photos.
