Bluetooth High Def?

[iver]

In recent news, Bluetooth is adopting new radio technology to allow High Definition transfers for video devices such as Camcorders for display on your television, to uses for such as PSP's or iPods for the transfer of audio files.

These devices all need the ability to send large files, Wood said. For instance, a camcorder with WiMedia technology could transmit high-definition video wirelessly to a TV set in the same room.

The technology will still only hold true for short distances, about 10 feet; but the ability to transfer wirelessly at USB or Firewire speeds is definitely has promise.

The first products with high-speed Bluetooth may show up late next year, with wider availability in 2008, said Michael Foley, executive director of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group.

This "new tech" is Ultra Wide Band. They are talking 50 feet, here. Which seems a little skimpy to me.

They describe is being used in the home to stream a/v to other parts of the house. Now, I dont know about anyone else, but my house is a lot more than 50 feet across. Then, you need to figure density and how that will transend into actual bandwidth throughput, bla bla.

Maybe there will be a double standard :-P

Well, if I were streaming from my camcorder or other handheld device, I'd have it with me while I was watching from my TV...so I should think 50 feet is more than ample. While wireless is awesome, I still prefer having the devices in my view when I use them...
