Why do smart phones need to support 1080p playback and HD recording? I guess youtube videos might get better quality.
1080p recording probably so that you can transfer to a device connected to a large display. 1080p playback seems ridiculous, unless smartphones start including connections to external displays.

Does 1080p hardware encoding even exist for consumer desktop use (not GPU offloading but actually hardware encoders)? I know OTA capture cards have hardware encoders that support up to 1080i, but 1080p is a different beast altogether.

Playback seems far more likely as most mobile chips already have video decoding integrated, and manufacturers like HTC already have TV out via mini USB / external connector. The Omnia pro will also have it upon release.
