Video output

[spyder6838]

Ok i did a search and all i found was info on the audio output side. I was wondering if the is any kind of plug that will do audio plus VIDEO output from the touch?

Isn't that a nano-HDMI port on the bottom?
</sarcasm>



With the right driver development, I imagine it is possible.

Interesting ... The Toshiba e805 Presentation Pack was/is an extension to the Toshiba Pocket PC that enabled exactly that; video out. The Toshiba e805 is a Windows Mobile device (WM2003), so I wonder: Was something specific to the Toshiba hardware, or is/was it something within the Windows Mobile APIs?

Do you happen to know?

See i was looking for something that just it a 3.5mm to video and rca cables. Like for example on the ipod and the zune there a cable that plugs into the 3.5mm jack that gets you video and audio. Im just wanting to hook it up to a small 7in monitor. I know the picture quaitly will maybe be bad b/c im goin from a small screen on the touch to a large screen but i was just wanting to try it out.

Sorry then, I got off on a tangent of possibilities ... obviously there is a big difference between something being possible and existence of something on the shelf that you could go and buy, plug in, install a piece of supporting software and go to town. Apologies for taking in the discussion in a direction that you obviously didn't intend.

While it might be possible to achieve your goal, I would guess that there is almost zero chance that you're going to see something like this come to market as a commercial product.

At best, this idea sounds like something the folks working on Android could be coaxed into supporting ... if it were something that could scale across multiple devices.

You need video acceleration for one thing.
