[QUOTE=HelloNNNewman;3010205]Ummm...pssst... Not quite true. There are several solutions to run video out through a micro-usb connection. The connection itself can support the function (contrary to your post)... But the chipset and firmware have to be compatible. So yes, there is actually support for that A/V out through that connection type.
I'm mobile, but just do a Google search for "micro usb video out". An example of an adaptor working for this: [url=http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/04/incredible-tv-out-video-demo/]Incredible TV out video demo[/url][/QUOTE]
But you are also talking about relying on multiple fronts to "jerry-rig" the system --- which makes netflix harder to code for the touchpad.
Much easier for HP to entice netflix to port to the touchpad if there is no video out, period.

Regarding Netflix and HTML5 for video delivery(with DRM), see [url=http://techblog.netflix.com/2010/12/html5-and-video-streaming.html]The Netflix Tech Blog: HTML5 and Video Streaming[/url]. Although there is much public discussion of video over HTML5, many essential aspects required by Netflix are still on the drawing board.
