so I was googling around, trying to remember some stuff about usb cables, and I hit the wikipedia site. found what I wanted, but I also found this:

So this piqued my interest, and decided to find out where google would take me from there.
found this video:

okay, so now I am really curious:

can we have video in/out on our phones?

what would it take to make it work, assuming the hardware is available inside our phones. (I don't assume its not, because, when I bought my phone it had no GPS, and now it does...).

Nope, the mogul doesn't contain the chipset necessary to transmit the analog display to a TV. If you notice the ExtUSB slot is actually different from a normal USB. While its backwards compatible with a standard USB, it contains extra pins for these sort of functionality. The Mogul wasn't designed with this type of output.

There is a program that will do a remote PPC connection onto your PC over USB (Like Remote Desktop), but I can't recall the name of it. It's slow, but it sort of works.
