If you can avoid wireless, avoid it. Cables always win. And if you need to run wireless HDMI... you're doing it wrong.]]>Jul 16th 2009 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/
Exactly. +1 to you as well.]]>Jul 16th 2009 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/
Are you kidding? Wireless HMDI would be incredible in the long run! Granted this was only the first step, but it had to start somewhere. For instance, imagine (eventually) being able to stream iTunes videos, YouTube, Hulu or anything else directly from say a wireless HDMI equipped laptop to a TV. That would obviate the need for expense and complicated toys such as Apple TV many NAS devices and the complexities of UPnP for many of us. Cables are great, but say you live in NYC and rent a very awkward apartment with cement or brick walls...running cabling isn't always an easy option, especially in a tiny apartment.

I really hope something like this happens someday!

The sad thing is that there would be buyers for the air.

You have to run POWER to the TV that you have on your wall, so it's not like your setup can ever be 100% wireless.

Buy the $4 cable on monoprice, and never have to deal with wireless hassles and quality degradation.

$1500 just astounds me, too. How could it possibly cost that much to manufacture?]]>Jul 16th 2009 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/Jul 16th 2009 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/

I think the analogy to wireless USB is completely bogus however because a major component of USB is power/charging and obviously that can't be done wirelessly. As far as data transfers, WIFI is already cheap, available and works perfectly well. As far as peripheral communications, bluetooth is already pretty solid so the way I see it, wireless USB was obsolete before it was even close to coming to market. Wireless HDMI on the other hand doesn't have a standardized alternative and it could be very valuable especially when you think about sharing an A/V stack with multiple displays. You could easily have a (currently) high-end HDMI switching receiver with multiple zones wirelessly feeding any compatible display in your house. Sounds pretty awesome to me. I do think that the cost isn't there yet but the concept isn't without merit.]]>Jul 16th 2009 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/Jul 16th 2009 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/Jul 16th 2009 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/belkin-kills-the-flywire-does-wireless-hd-hdmi-even-have-a/
