Morbid though it may sound:

This gives the phrase "Blue Screen of Death" a whole new meaning.

Be serious, Apple, Google, Dell and every other tech company in the world probably have one of these running in their labs. This idea (in addition to being rather obvious) has been around for years, take a look at some of Jeff Han's work. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a great idea, just not very well implemented (projector) or particularly inspired.

On another note, if anyone else compares this thing to an iPhone, I will hunt you down.

I would love one of these if only I weren't afraid it would coil itself around my body and squeeze me to death whenever I fall asleep on the couch..

If that screen is 20.8 inches, how big is the frame?

I disagree, I don't think that linux is al that much of a learning curve if you're used to Windows XP. If it was an option at purchase, I think it would make a lot of sense. They could choose the Windows that they known, or experiment a bit with another OS and save some money at the same time.

THIS is a laptop that should come preinstalled with Linux, if only to drop the price a bit more.

Reading these comments, I'm starting to wonder if HD radio is any different to the DAB radio that's been in the UK for something like the last five years. http://www.bbc.co.uk/digitalradio/

Is that true? If not could someone tell me the differences and point me in the right direction?

Would everyone please calm down? You are all missing the whole point of the quote, and the post by a few hundred miles.

Sony is a global company in the business of making money. They know that in america people make less (when the exchange rate is taken into account), therefore they have to lower the price of their console because otherwise no one will be able to afford it. In European countries, people make more (when the exchange rate is taken into account), therefore they can increase the price of their console so as to make more (or rather, lose less) money. This is not exactly a new idea. Where do you think the cost of living comes from? I don't think I need to go into that do I? That's what Wikipedia and common sense is for.

Anyway:

160Gbps=20GBps

20(GBps)/30(fps)=Roughly 700MB per frame via streaming.
This is more than 100 times larger than a of 1080p frame (found that on http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/amia-l/2007/03/msg00118.html), meaning you could theoretically have up to 10800p streaming from somewhere else without a hiccup, which frankly scares me (in a nice way).

Alternatively this could be used to stream or download 1080p content to 100 devices at once. I see a world where you can walk into a starbucks or a tv store, and see a movie playing on the tv, think "I like that movie", stick your iPod or other storage device into a panel on the bottom, your bank account will be automatically charged and the device will download "true" hd quality movie to your device in under two minutes at full capacity and under two seconds at minmum capacity. It could even work at home. You are over at a someone else's house and like the movie they are watching, you can just download it in the same way. It could revolutionise the movie industry. I can even see movie rental or purchase shops the size of ATMs, with several operating on one of these transceivers in a given area. I like this idea, I think I might copyright it.
