Exclamation how to stream movies on Device to TV?

Hello crackberryiers,
Does anyone know if there is a way to hook up my BB Bold to the TV and stream movies on the device to the TV, and watch them on the big screen?
I have a good amount of movies on my Bold, and would like to play them for friends or family on the big screen, using hopefully just one connector...

the TV input could be component, composite, or HDMI (though best would be basic AV)

can anyone help me with this?

The device only has an audio out so I don't think this will work. It would be awesome though...

Im pretty sure this will work. I have tried connecting my bold to my samsung lcd hdtv by usb and was able to view pictures and listen to music. If I had a new version of my tv that also supported videos then Im sure I would be able to view the videos that were on my bold on my tv but also depends on the formats supported.

New high end LCD TVs have integrated media players, so this might indeed work. When you connect your blackberry to Tv, it will just recognize it as external drive... and be able to play any (supported by TV's media player) file from it...

Thumbs down Not on BBs.

I wondered the same thing and scoured the web for this but had no luck. However I did find out that the HTC Touch has a mini usb to rca composite video/audio output adapter that allows this. Yet another reason I regret buying a Storm.
