I believe that's correct. Certainly wifi has enough bandwidth to support streaming, so all that's needed is a wifi receiver that can output via composite video. I'm sure I've heard of such a thing. I'd be surprised if you couldn't get a wifi video streaming receiver.

Nor sure if anyone loves Remote P910i (I sure do). Just realised mobileways.de are porting their Remote P910i to Remote P990i 
http://developer.sonyericsson[....]d.jspa?threadID=24164&tstart=0
Let's hope more and more developers can port over their apps to the P990i the soonest possible...

But the most important question of all remains unanswered --
Where's the online poker?  |

Anyway, everybody talked about p990, but I heard nothing about m600. So... it'd be cool if SE will release something like q100 with tv-out, and stuff like that, anything related to multimedia. Wouldn't be better to have the world in our pocket? |

@ adnhk1 - i'd rather developers concentrate on entirely new apps for the new version of Symbian.
I was never impressed by the old apps, which is one of the reasons i sold my P900 so early on, because the apps never had the same depth of sophistication that i was used to with Windows PPC.
Im hoping the P990i will go some way to bridging the gap, but if all it'll have is ports of old software, whats the point.

@etaab,
PPC apps are "sophisticated"?? I beg to differ but I find them more "BLOATED" than sophisticated...
I am not sure which apps are you comparing against, but I find Remote P910i does what it is suppose to do, ie, provide us the ability to control our P910i remotely using our PC/Laptop. Of course I would welcome added enhancements over current versions (like WiFi for P990i and good idea to have file transfer capability using WiFi), but these enhancements should not come at the expense of my phone's performance... Like what Pocket Controller Pro does to my XDA Mini...
Another app I would like to mention is Magic Profiles Pro. It has 80% of PPC's equivalent, Phone Alarm but ran much faster and more responsive than Phone Alarm ran on my mini... There are others, but I hope you get my point. The more bloated an app is, the more the battery life will suffer cos these apps takes more CPU cycles and power to load and execute, which is one of the reason why my mini with much fewer softwares being loaded simultaneously as compared to my P910i, can never match my P910i's battery life. |

When i refer to sophistication im speaking in regard of the complexity of the app, and whats actually possible with the hardware or operating system. Im sure Symbian is just as capable as Windows or Palm, but you never get the same depth of apps for Symbian devices that you get with Windows or Palm.
For example, im not aware of any CAD packages for UIQ devices, something which a couple of years ago mattered greatly to me, and of which the P900 simply could not perform anything in that area.

Apologies, do you mean CAD/CAM? If so, I do believe 156Mhz CPU on a P910i may not be capable of performing CAD stuff at reasonable speed. Also, imho, CAD perhaps applies to the needs of smaller groups of people and in order to perform any form meaningful CAD stuff, I believe a true workstation is required. Even a Thinkpad T43 performs sluggishly with comes to CAD stuff.
I recalled downloading just a CAD drawing viewer on my PC, the viewer itself is already almost 20MB...
Hence I do not really think that because of not being able to view or work on CAD drawings is a show stopper for one to purchase a phone with PDA features TODAY...

I prefer the stability of Symbian over the application diversity and complexity of PPC. I have used Palm OS (TH55, Treo 650 & LifeDrive) and WM5 (HTC Universal) and I prefer my Symbian Nokia 9500. Personal devices for most people are tools not toys. Frequent crashes and need to reset is not that much fun after a few weeks. Finally, remember the P990 is not a PDA it is a Smartphone - if you want a PDA you will better to look at WM5.

@ adnhk1 - Ive been using PowerCAD CE for PPC 2003 in the past, and its been pretty versatile in its functioning and capable of what i needed it for. In fact i found it to be more complex than the desktop CAD package id been using for a couple of years.
Im hoping the P990i will be able to run apps of similar complexity, and not simply be a glorified organiser. I dont really use CAD anymore, so the P990i for me does not need to live up to that, but i do require apps of a professional standard.
@ Jah - Its not a question of stability for me, because ive always found Windows PPC to be just as stable as any Symbian OS ive used, if not moreso. Fortunately my needs of a business class device have become more "lite" than they used to be, and im sure the P990i could suit my needs, however that does not mean i'd be happy if all the device could do was process words, spreadsheets, databases and presentations. I'd still like to have the option to install powerful apps that can compete with more (from a developers standpoint) sophisticated platforms as WM5.

CAD on a phone?! That a joke? Must be rubbish and totally useless? |

No, they're very good pieces of software. Check them out for Windows devices:
