I have a MHL for my samsung infuse, maybe i will give it a shot later... I am assuming there is some sort of support as the jetstream has a modified microusb connector. It can support a regular microusb cable but it also takes a cable with an extra 5th pin for something... must be some sort of other dock or cables coming out for it.

MHL does work. I used the "universal" MHL adapter that T-Mobile US stores sell and it worked once I plugged in a 1 amp phone charger. MHL adapters require micro USB power in, and I found that less than an amp didn't work. But the HTC Sensation and LG Thrill chargers did the trick. I have a video of it in action in our Jetstream review:

The device lists USB external storage under the storage applet. But I had no luck using a USB OTG cable (the Motorola Xoom optional cable). It didn't see flash drives, mice or keyboards. I've asked HTC PR about USB host, but it's taking a long time for them to get me an answer.

btw... the MHL adapter that came with my Samsung Infuse also worked with the Jetstream as long as i had the charger plugged into the MHL adapter, couldn't power itself on its own.
