According to the wiki:
I'm very intrigued by this sentence :
"It will be possible to extract video out directly from the tablets to a projector. Nokia engineers will do the setup"
Don't want any on-the-spot surgery on my tablet :-)

I'm starting my holidays tomorrow until the end of the month. We will sort out those details latest when I'm back.

I would like the devices-with-projection-capabilities to have VNC clients and an X-server and ssh*. This way, we can do live demos from the tablet.
*I have the X-server and ssh running fine on my Windows boxes using Cygwin; really straightforward to set up.

"Lives demos from the tablet" is precisely what we are looking for. You propose a setting
Tablet --> laptop --> Projector
and we are suggesting to demo a setting
Tablet --> Projector
without laptop in between.
That was my initial idea. However, since later on we have got the request to record the screencasts at the same time that they are being projected, we might need the laptop back no matter what the setting is. Unless someone finds the way and the performance to save a screencast in the own tablet...
Anyway, we know we can go VNC and there is also the possibility to go direct video out.

I agree that video-out from the tablet would be very cool. I want that hack done to my tablet no matter what solution is decided upon.
The advantage to the laptop-VNC solution is that the tablet would remain wireless, as opposed to having a video-out cable tethering it. I also want to show some cool X-Forwarding tricks, using the tablet as the server and the laptop as the client, but that's not strictly necessary...

Assuming direct video out is via a usbvga dongle (so not as cool as via the 3.5mm jack 
), some people might have troubles with their demos if they use any of the scaling features of the LCD controller. Just a thought.
