A handful of mobile phone companies, including Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and Silicon Image, have formed the Mobile High-Definition Interface Working Group. The group's goal will be to create a standard port used by mobile phones and other consumer devices to connect to HDTVs or high-definition displays. The standard will specify that a "single-cable with a low pin count interface will be able to support up to 1080p HD digital video and HD audio in addition to delivering power to a portable device." The group intends to form a consortium behind the idea and eventually create a standard specification for such a connector.
