Wireless HDMI

Ultrawideband chipmaker TZero has partnered with Analog Devices to announce an HDMI wireless technology that would allow high-definition video and audio to be transmitted between devices at up to 480 Mbps without the use of cords. With the use of a transmitter and receiver, the user would be able to transmit high-definition content from any HDMI-enabled device, such as a DVD player or a game system, to the receiver attached to the HDMI display from up to 30 meters away. No line-of-sight is required, which would allow much more flexibility in placement of devices, the ability to transmit to multiple HDMI sets around the house from one device, and the elimination of the greatly-feared cord gnome.

Interesting idea.  Not sure how it'll work for HD content (as it looks to require some lossy compression to enable it to work over those data rates).  However, it should be very nice for SD content!
