Did you also know that some of Qualcomm work is contracted out to TriQuint. I work in Hillsboro, OR. at place called (PTD) Portland Technology Development at Intel corporation (Fab D1D). Anyway, back to TriQuint there semiconductor fab is located right behind our fab. I think it might have to do with us being located in a silicon forest or something? Some of the conversation you can have with those TriQuint guys over launch is amazing. Get back on point here. Namely the Wifi radio and our beloved 4G radio for EVO 4G was manufactured at TriQuant(Who knew?). Wouldn't you know some of the silicon being contracted out for manufacturing for EVO 3D is being handled at TriQuint as well. Amazing! Whoo Knew!!!
Even if the Evo 3D can't "do all that" out of the box, I have high confidence that it would once rooted, and that's good enough for me.
Evo 3D is already getting some criticism for the placement of the charge port (left side) especially when all indications are that the kickstand case places the left edge on the bottom, so you can't charge and prop your phone up at the same time. But the rumor mill says that the reason for the charge port's location may be due to the phone's ability to fit into a future dock.
Aside from a car, I don't really care to dock my phone. There's no need to keep it upright inside the home. If I'm doing HDMI mirroring, I don't want or need the phone in a dock. A simple cable to the TV is fine, or, as EarlyMon suggested, some connection sans wire would be the ideal. Then I can have the phone in my pocket and still use it. But the key here is the support for HID devices. I suspect it'll be a root-only thing, but who knows. It really should go hand in hand with the mirroring.
I believe the Evo 3D supports full mirroring. At least that's what I remember when Hannah (Sprint rep) demo'd the Evo. So if full mirroring is now a stock feature, doesn't it make sense to support HIDs out of the box as well? If it's there, I'd say I prefer the Evo's method of projecting to a large screen over the Atrix's docking method.
