The Wireless USB packing Toshiba Portege R400 makes an encore performance at CES 2008 in hopes of putting your bandwidth fears to rest. Pushing data at 377Mbps (of a theoretical 480Mbps at 3-meters), you're looking at 1,920 x 1,080 pixel video sourced from the R400 and displayed on a prototype WUSB monitor sitting a few inches away. Not bad, eh?
That actually looks pretty cool, and while this has been around for quite some time now, I am excited to see that it works so well. Can't wait till I can walk into a room w/ my laptop and it automatically extends the desktop to all the displays in the room :)
Yeah, it's all great and sweet. However, if you are a sucker like me and bought the R400 after CES 2007 because you were so smitten by a demo just like this one... You got screwed!
Yes, my R400 is first gen and will never be able to connect to the UWB dock that was supposed to be for it. Early adopters shouldn't be.
“The general size and shape certainly calls forth memories of the Centro, but while the previous version was chunky and playful, the Pixi comes off more like its distant cousin... from the year 3000.”

Sweet, I can run multiple screens with less cables! Now where's the wireless power supply?
