Wireless DVI - now THAT rocks (if you're within 3 feet) !!!!!

August 01, 2007

More sad techno-lust stuff. Toshiba are first out of the blocks to ship a consumer version of a "wireless dock" for some of their laptops. It uses Ultra-Wideband, costs $500 (versus $180 for non-wireless version).

The really sweet bit is the Wireless DVI - you bring your laptop near the dock (within 3 feet) then BING! Your video pops up on your external monitor. Sweet.


I saw a demo last year of Philips HD TVs using a very early version of UWB to play DVDs streamed over UWB from a player to the TV. This is (I think) the first consumer product to do this for real.

Yummy.
