what BT mouse and keyboard are you using??

Do the HML adapters work along side the USB host feature of the phone?
Ice Cream Sandwich supports USB host for keyboards and mice through an OTG cable. And some people had rooted their phones to mount USB drives. Might it be possible to use both types of adaptor, perhaps with a USB hub, to have the same computer-like experience with USB peripherals?

@danbobbobson If you look closely at ANY USB to MHL adapter, you'll notice there are 3 connections - Male mini USB (to phone), HDMI (to TV), and a Female Mini USB for your phone's charger. this keeps your device powered up while pumping those precious bits to your TV, while taking care of any overhead required by HDMI or the adapter itself.

Looks great! how do you charge your phone with the MHL plugged in?

I love it! I wanted to do that from the first iPhone!

awesome video demonstration, much appreciated.
came here after ordering a cheap dongle from Ebay, with a cheap HDMI cable, only to find when they arrived i didn't know i needed to have the microUSB power cable ALSO plugged into the the whole thing work.
your video perfectly gave the information needed get it all working, even with a tip about TV settings!
brilliant, thanks again.

once the onlive desktop app comes out, you will be able to turn your phone into a desktop... basically....
Love the video and the functionality. Is this bluetooth mouse/keyboard compatability something that is new with ICS? I've tried to pair a Think Outside bluetooth travel keyboard with my Nexus One running Gingerbread and it doesn't support without a 3rd party driver and even at that it's hit and miss.

@baneparkour It's not new, just a few small improvements over Gingerbread mainly to do with scrollwheel integration. I've paired bluetooth devices on a GS2 just as easily.
