Your smiley is as backward as your attitudes towards women.
The fact that they've got such a broad range of companies in their consortium is promising, but ultimately TransferJet was driven by Sony (I think...) who presumably own all the related IP. Just because others are in the consortium doesn't necessarily mean they'll put this $17 chip in their products.

Anyway, my main gripe was with the speed. It'll take about 90 seconds to empty a 4GB memory card over this link -- do I really want to stand holding my phone within 3cm of my TV for 90 seconds? Maybe they'll start integrating shelves into TVs so I can go and make a coffee while my photos download.
I'm a little surprised that the maximum throughput is only 375Mbps. That's only slightly faster than the real-world throughput that should be achievable from the next generation 802.11n chipsets (which claim 600Mbps raw throughput, and so will probably deliver around half of that in usable bandwidth). I hope this doesn't become another irritating Sony-only standard which no-one else uses.
Mikero, I think you kind of missed the point.

In ADDITION to the meaning you quoted, 'to decimate' can also mean 'to cause great destruction' (with 'great' potentially much larger than 10%). Check a dictionary: http://www.answers.com/decimation
I find it surprising that they push their horrible memory stick standard even onto their professional gear. I wish it would just die.

No underscores in new usernames? Did I miss something? jgpuff just looks stupid now.
Full credit to Ross for being reasonable about it though. There's basically no-one else on the internet decent enough to admit to their mistakes.
I pity whoever is paying you $50k pa. to inaccurately proofread articles on someone else's gadget blog
You wouldn't be slow if they had a turbo button which could boost them to 66MHz
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
