Belkin's FlyWire Wireless HD solution ready for CES

As the war between wireless HD solutions heats up, AMIMON is looking to make a splash by partnering up with Belkin. Reportedly, the firm's Wireless High-definition Interface (WHDI) -- which was just recently HDCP certified -- will be the heart of the Belkin FlyWire aimed at streaming HD DVD / Blu-ray (among other uncompressed content) to television sets sans wires. Unfortunately, little more is known beyond that (aside from the price range, set at $499 to $599), but here's to hoping that we'll get a closer look in just a few days.

what is the point of this my hd dvd player sit's under my tv.so if I did go wireless I would still have to get my lazy ass up to go to the other room to put the dvd in the player and go back to the other room to watch it makes no sense......is it just me

The purpose is to allows those who don't want their HD-DVD player to be under the television. Imagine if you stored youre DVD player in a little hidden cabinet next to your couch. Then you'd no longer be walking across the room to change your dvd, just reach over.
But really, the purpose for this would probably be useful for those who have digital projector televisions and don't want to run a wire up to their ceiling. Or those who can't easily hide wires in their walls. It's really about ascetics. No wires and hiding your cablebox/av/dvd stuff out of the way.
For me, it would be great to have all my components hidden in the closet and with the 40' range, I can have a couple flywire receivers, one on the tv in the kitchen and one in the living room and could watch both from the same setup. This would be great for me (I'm making the assumption that I'd only be watching one device at a time, though, but the idea could be improved upon.)
It would be really great if this thing could mount to the back of an LCD television, so it doesn't take counter space.
Will watch what happens with this
