How dumb is that? Seems like such an obvious feature, especially for a device that is dabbling in the same realm as devices like tablets.

I spoke with the Gamestop manager near my office over lunch. She came back today from a Sony training session. Told me there are still quite a few things unannounced for "NGP". Mentioned a little about Sony's "Near" app.
I wouldn't write it off now. It's one of those "natural next steps" for iOS and Android devices.

OMG after seeing those captures and Uncharted, along with Wipeout 2048, which is the equivalent of F-Zero, a game that I really love, it only bothers me the battery's life expectancy of the NGP -which in the case of not lasting enough can be a major impediment taking into account my life style-, and of course, the price, but that's a different matter.
I wish it had video out
I might wait for a revision hoping it will have one
Do we know that the wireless can't be used for streaming to TVs?
Sony could go with some docking bay or wireless solution, although wireless would be expensive and complicated versus an HDMI port. Hopefully they'll announce as much at E3. And hopefully this time, their announced peripherals will be out with the portable, instead of years later (PSP GPS took ages, PSP Camera took longer, PSP tilt sensor never appeared!).
Wireless streaming to TVs?
Sony has had location free TV technology for sometime now. How do we know NGP won't use some derivative technology to get the video onto your TV?
Because my TV doesn't have that tech.
They could with a 'dongle' - a wfii box to stream wireless TV. But as I say, that's jolly expensive and complicated where an HDMI cable wouldn't be. Makes far more sense to have a docking bay with an HDMI port, and maybe PS3 AV port that can connect to composite and component with existing cables.

I agree that an AV port would be cheaper way to go but haven't they already said they aren't going to offer one?
TVs don't have WiFi....so to stream something to a TV you'd need a WiFi device attached to the TV. SONY could sell a WiFi kit for your TV but I honestly don't see them going through the trouble. I think a better solution would be a docking station with HDMI out and add the option of using a wireless controller for the NGP.
Wifi and internet are becoming fairly common features with today's tvs...
That's not the point, the point is HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of existing TVs don't have WiFi. I'm sure there is some TV somewhere that has a built-in kitchen sink too...who cares? Doesn't mean I want a portable gaming device to be able to shoot dishwashing soap to a TV.
Unfortunately nobody is going to go out and buy a new TV with WiFi just so they could wirelessly stream NGP video....
I think a normal person with an existing TV would rather use a cable or docking station and I'm sure MILLIONS of people think the same.

They've said there's none in the NGP itself, but that doesn't preclude peripherals.
I thought I had read somewhere that Sony said they were not going to offer an AV out peripheral. I've been looking but can't find the article so maybe they will.
Edit:
if they do it would be a good way to generate additional $$$
