don't you think that it is for getting power via usb from the tv? Most tv's have a usb port on the side next to the hdmi input. It seems so unnecessary to put a battery in a device that has to be connected every time you use it anyways.
3 denmark will get it in May. And send me one for free
But I think the official release date is late April.

Yes, I'll be getting one (in fact, have one pre-ordered with Amazon).
They are too expensive, but I don't have a DLNA enabled TV yet and have our first child due in July; I've managed to convince my good lady that it will be absolutely imperative to have one if we're to be able to show off photos and video of junior on the big screen when her family are round.
I am stockpiling gadgets atm, as I don't think I'll be allowed to buy any more beyond August.

And don't forget you have to be on an active WiFi network for it all to work. So takin it round ur mates would b fine if they also have WiFi.

Have any of these actually 'shipped' to end users yet?
I would really like one, I want to be able to browse the internet on my tv in a real browser using a keyboard with actual letters on it.
My Bluray and TV can get the internet, but its not a real browser.
Have you ever tried to search for something on youtube typing in on your DVD remote? moving a cursor around on the screen to select each letter, with no edit function. OMG!!!
The person who designed that should be f**king strung up by their dangly bits and then shot.
Does anyone know of any 'knockoff' or 'copy cat' devices that do the same as the medialink HD? (in a wireless way)

If your friend's tv has a hdmi input, I would hope that they have wifi
EDIT: Actually, it's Ad Hoc wifi. So it's not a problem I believe.

I was personally very hyped about the whole Media Link with the HTC One x when watching the videos online and stuff. but right now the software on the 1X needs ALOT of attention.
And I dont wanna charge while using the Media Link, will screw up the battery eventually and the battery is not detachable, maybe replacable but with risk of screwing up your 1X.

Saw one of these the other day at the One X launch here in Auckland (where HTC and Telecom were kind enough to give me my own One X to review and keep). Quite flashy, but lag very apparent (possibly down to the setup in the demo area rather than representing how well it may work). I'll stick with MHL + bluetooth keyboard and mouse for this kind of thing myself.
Am happy with my media link HD, connected easily with my 1x and not much lag, even when streaming YouTube HD stuff. Am also able to connect easily with my moto XOOM using bubbleupnp.
Just wondering if its possible to connect and mirror the media link HD with non HTC devices.... like my motor XOOM...
that would truly be awesome. :good:Similar threads

Yes Im getting one but only because it came free with my One X order. In answer to your questions yes it can be used with other devices.
Ive got the standard media link adapter as well and that works perfectly on my Moto Xoom. If your concerned about the price there are cheaper alternatives that do the exact same thing. Just have a browse on Amazon for DLNA receivers.1So it is basically just a DLNA receiver? therefore my PS3 can do the exact same thing?
The Media Link for the One series is different than the previous HTC Media Links (basically DLNA media players), in that it can mirror what you see on the phone's screen. So it's more like a "smart" wireless HDMI connection, since once you start media playback, it switches to media streaming mode like the old Links, and the phone can be used to do other things without interrupting the video on the TV.
I like the idea of playing a game through this, but there is noticable latency, so no Shadowgun, but Angry Birds would probably work well.1I have been using my one x to stream to the ps3. there are various dlna server apps in the market, I personally use BubbleUPnP on my one x. regarding the battery life, well if the screen is off I generally find the battery doesn't go down too quick, even while streaming or on a long call. the display is what seems too suck battery ie: games or browsing the web. anyway id save your money unless you really want to use all your apps on a large display/tv. or buy a mhl to hdmi cable online for a tenner does the same job as the medialink, though wired.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App1my understanding was the media link only worked with Sense 4, so not sure its compatible with all devices. It is compatible with all TVs/monitors that have a HDMI port. THe Media Link comes with a built in rechargeable battery which is charged the same way as your phone with a micro usb cable.1
