Accessories TV Out

I read a while back that the Galaxy S phones were going to support TV out through the audio jack. I found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2kUDlre3Dkthis video of someone doing just that with the Vibrant. This is exactly what I'd like to be able to do. I used to have the Evo and while it has HDMI out, if i recall...it didn't allow you to view everything you did on the phone...only play videos that you had on your phone, youtube videos, and it was finiky about playing images from the gallery; it didn't allow you to browse your phone or play games over the television.

ANYway, i searched amazon and found a set of cables that are supposed to work, but in going to Samsung's site it seems to prove otherwise.

Does anyone know if this is something that may be added on in a future update or can be added with rooting or by any other means?
 
This cable will not work for the Samsung Epic 4G.
Sprint turned this fuction off same as the Samsung Fascinate for Verizon.

Don't waste your money
 
Love the way Sprint/ Verizon like to take away key selling features... a shame really... its a great way to watch some videos from your phone ... maybe even help samsung sell some of their overpriced videos...
 
my GALAXY TAB have the feature already and the option to toggle PAL/NTSC from the setup menu but when i set the cable both on the phone and the TV, i get perfect sound but no image although the Vedio jack is set correctly ! am I using a bad cable or am I missing a certain setup or is this still not featured in the Galaxy TAB as the GALAXY S ? appreciate a help to make use of this great feature ... thanks ! :(
