I have a 30" Samsung (TX3082), My component can only go to 1080i, but what about the HDMI on the back? can that go to 1080p or do only some HDTVs offer 1080p through HDMI?

Not necessarily. HDMI and 1080p aren't mutually exclusive--HDMI is merely the method of connection, and 1080p is a picture format/resolution. HDMI can carry 1080p, but it can also carry lower resolution formats.
If your HDTV has HDMI, it doesn't mean that it's 1080p--the most common HDTV's are 720p/1080i, and most do have HDMI inputs. I looked up your particular model and it appears to be just 720p/1080i.

Very few TVs can accept 1080p as input, even if they have HDMI inputs. A few of the newer large-screen TVs are able to accept 1080p, but the only sources of that format are certain video games and the new high-definition DVD players. All broadcast is either 1080i or 720p.

If your TV can handle 1080p, most HDMI cables will support 1080p. The issue is no one is broadcasting 1080p:) Most retailers will let specify if their cables support 1080p

HDMI can do 1080p

Yep. You need a DVD player that upconverts, and a good quality HDMI cable, and you are good to go.
