Hi

As the title says, is this possible? I want to "mirror" my actions on the iPhone so it shows on the computer monitor.

We've seen this on the Apple key notes, but I am not sure if this feature is public.

Many screencasts displaying an iPhone application simply use the iPhone Simulator, which is one option.

You can also take screenshots on the phone by quickly pressing the menu and the power/sleep button at the same time. The image is then saved to your "Camera Roll" and easily transferable to the computer

The other way is only possible with a Jailbroken phone - Veency is a VNC server for the iPhone, which you can connect to with a regular VNC client.

If your iPhone is jailbroken you can use DemoGod

The latest SDKs (beginning with 2.2, I believe), include TV-Out functionality. With a special cable connected to the iPhone dock connector, a program can send RCA signals representing its current screen contents through the iPhone->RCA cable. If you have a TV Tuner for your computer (i.e. I have an EyeTV Hybrid) with RCA inputs, you can display the screen contents of your iPhone directly in the TV viewer.

You have to buy the actual Apple made cable, though, which was $50 bux the last time I checked. OS 3.0 and newer checks the hardware for a special chip. If it doesn't exist, it no worky. ;-)

Yes, DemoGod will mirror your iphone screen on a Mac wirelessly using Bonjour. It will require to jailbreak the iphone though as it needs the ScreenSplitr app to run in the background which Apple doesn't authorize.

Release notes iOS 3.2 (External Display Support) and iOS 4.0 (Inherited Improvements) mentions that it should be possible to connect external displays to iOS 4.0 devices.
But you still have to jailbreak if you would mirror your iPhone screen...
