Video output from iphone4 to TV

Hey you guys!
Just wanted to know, If i have my iphone pluged in to my TV via the
RGB (video) + L/R (Audio) cables i got from the Apple store, Can i acctually use my TV as the monitor instead of the iphone4 itself ?

The reason i ask is, I can already watch movies from my iphone4 on my TV. but can i do anything else ? like play a game or browse the web with Safari ?

And if so, can you give me some tips please ?

Thanks

Iphone4, iOS 4

So how does Steve Jobs do it at those Apple events he holds?

He has a special iPhone. (Apple does favors for him.) Since that phone is always used with a cable connected, it doesn't need a battery, so has space available to add extra circuitry for digital video output. Most customers would rather have a phone with a battery.
