    I was just thinking the same thing. I don't know if it's possible because it uses a USB-Type connection protocol. If it was proprietary then it would be a different story (like iPod connectors are exclusively only on iPods)

    So the only way that there can possibly video-out is if they make some type of cable through the headphone jack. Similar to how my 1st generation Zune sent video-out.

    Well I found a cable that works on the htc droid (I have both) but I don't know if it works with movies. I think it only let's u see the photos and videos. I don't want to buy it and then that's all it does

    Be civil. Yes, you can make video's from your phone. The O.P. wants to be able to watch movies that are on their phone or video's they created to be able to watch them on the TV.

    I've found a lot of info on the video out thing there's a few videos u can watch on u youtube but its only the htc touch here's the site where I found the cable. As of right now there is no luck on the droidworking as a video output. HTC Touch Pro TV Out Cable ACT100 - Original (OEM)

    Did you take a good look at that cable?
    There's zero colour separation....meaning it will look like crap unless you're
    the only person without an HDTV?

    There is nothing out there that will allow you to view HD content output to an HDTV...
    We would need an HDMI output. While there is a phone coming that will have HDMI...Our Moto Droid is.....essentially Void.

    It would have been possible for the headphone jack to incorporate component HD video output as well as audio IF they
    have had the foresight to have done this for us....My DXG 1080p camcorder has this and videos come out perfect on an HDTV...
