HDMI doesnt support video out

---

The Xoom's HDMI port doesn't support video out without the $129 dock according to cnets review.

No. Really? For real? Well, the inability to support hdmi output doesn't justify $800. =[

Not all of us who has extra bucks to get the speaker dock. What the...? How about the standard dock?

the cnet review reported that they tried it directly from the xoom and couldn't get it to work until they used the $129 dock, so I doubt the regular dock will work unless this is another feature that will be added later.

XOOM - HDMI

What is the HDMI port for?

You can snap photos and capture videos, then sit back and enjoy them on your home HDTV flat screen. Your tablet’s HDMI port lets you connect it to other HDMI devices.

Note: Xoom offers video playback in 1080p HD but the display is optimized for 720p. Output in 720p via HDMI


HDCP via HDMI

Does the XOOM support HDCP via HDMI?

HDCP allows you to share HD videos to televisions. The XOOM will not support this feature at launch. A future software upgrade will enable this device to support HDCP via HDMI.


HDMI Mirror mode

When using HDMI, the bottom 80 pixels of the display where the navigation keys and notification menu are displayed is not projected on the external display. This is done by design and is not a defect with either the device or the external display.

YUP all TRUE!!

Had to get that Piece of Loaded Crap to get HDMI out...

But worth it all!! Love the ability to Google Video Chat with another XOOM, got one extra for me sis at New York (next day ship)!!

I really want to get the Xoom for all that its capable of, but every feature that makes it stand out seems to come with the statement..will launch at a later date.
