We know that the launch of the myTouch 3G Slide is coming before the EVO 4G hits Sprint stores, but we thought we would cover a bit more EVO news since all the myTouch Slide news came in more than a month ago and it feels like the phone has already been on the market for a while. That being said, Android and Me has just posted a video, showing how the HDMI connection on the HTC EVO 4G works. For those hoping to get the same functionality as the VGA output on the DROID Incredible or the older Touch Pro models from HTC, you might be a little disappointed. The HDMI output on the EVO 4G only seems to work with the video and gallery apps on the Android phone.

Commenters pointed out that developers could add in a few hacks to enable “VideoView” in their applications, but it sounds like it may be a little more hassle than what it’s worth. Honestly, users could gain a whole lot more functionality if HTC removed that HDMI port and added DLNA support to users could browser and share pictures, music, and video over their home network.
