Wow, no doubt at $1499 that "solution" would be cancelled.

Isn't that new Eee keyboard supposed to use wireless HDMI? And that only costs $200 extra I thought.

That's a shame. Hopefully the costs will come down in the next decade.

Just think how fast our world technology would advance if money wasn't a factor.

HDMI standard is 3.4 Gb/s. There is no wonder it has to be so expensive to fit into any sort of reasonable bandwidth. I don't see this ever being economical to manufacture.

Sure, wireless HDMI for $1500 is crazy. But there are other much more affordable solutions out there. Brite-view makes one that's about $400. Granted, that's still more than I would pay for it, but it's certainly better than $1500.

For reasons beyond human comprehension, Belkin can't manufacture so much as a bag tie for less than $175.00.

Wireless is nice, maybe if you're in a public area with a laptop and want to watch a decent deffinition movie.

Other than that, I prefer to avoid wireless because of interference and generally less reliability than wired.

doesn't sony have "wireless tvs"? where the tv just has the screen in it and just a power connector, then all the inputs are in a separate box that then wirelessly transmits the picture to the tv? I think this is a great idea, cause they could build the box into one of their av receivers and you wouldn't have any inputs wasted on the tv, everything would go thru the receiver. having said all this, sony is certainly not afraid to introduce expensive products, as such, this wireless tv IS at least 1k to 2k more expensive than its normal counterpart.

I dont see why it got so far as being "cancelled". There are plenty of rich suckers/morons out there that would love this and would pay that much.
