Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
This is a good solution for now - at least for video - but it still doesn't address the wires you'll need if you're pumping sound through separate speakers.
I'm looking forward to when this technology is embedded inside all our TV's and home theatre devices and no external hardware like this is needed. That'll make Monster Cable so happy! :) Away with the wires!!!
Of course, then we'll have to deal with surround speakers. I know if or when speakers go wireless, they may always have to be plugged into an outlet for power (I highly doubt batteries will ever provide enough power to drive good speakers (unless battery tech is greatly improved) - not to mention, having to deal with recharging and swapping that many batteries in and out in a surround system would be a pain), but having to deal with outlets would be much easier than dealing with routing speaker cable all over the place.
Then there's the hope that wireless power will happen, too, as I know some prototype examples of that have been effected. Who knows if and when enough of it will be able to be transmitted to power all these things?
I guess I'm just looking forward to cutting *every* wire.
