Re: HDMI?
Think of it this way, with the phone being capable of recording 720p @ 30 FPS the phone has basically become your camcorder.
At this point in time, most new digital camcorders using either hard drives or flash memory have at best an HDMI output and at worst some kind of analog composite video output. It's all about convergence. How likely would you be to show someone your home movies if you had to sit at the computer and convert them and make a DVD every time vs. being able to just connect the camera to the TV and show them straight away. Convenience is key. Now, they could have increased the convenience factor by including a mini-hdmi to hdmi cable, but they're about $6 online so whatever.
I like to think that I may post something to YouTube with this phone. How much easier can they make it? Record HD, connect to wi-fi hot-spot and upload to YouTube.
Anyway, that's just my thoughts. FYI, i've had my Instinct HD since Friday.
