Atlona AT-HDAir Wireless USB HD Video Adapter

I so wanted to see that the Atlona AT-HDAir Wireless USB HD Video Adapter deliver and I hope they expand on the product further. The potential is there since HDMI is already a digital signal or even better make HDTV's come with WiFi Built in.

(HD-AV Source) HDMI to Wifi ---> Wifi to HDMI (HDTV)

Then it wouldn't matter where the HDTV/Projector resides because you wouldn't need to run cables to it. There is the issue of video lag on gamers. For watching movies or TV if you didn't use sound on the HDTV then you would need to program in an audio delay on the receiver. I could also send video I have on my DVR downstairs to my TV upstairs or from my PC to the living room much easier although some IR or RF remote would be needed. Since the max resolution was 720P I suspect they need to use a newer Wifi-N standard which has more bandwidth.

So much potential there please keep something like this going. I want this bad there are at least 3 uses in my home for something like this. Make it so I can switch between sources too and you have a major win for me. Cabling this is not fun.

This is beyond brutal, FAR FAR worse than current random letter-number combination names.

I'll take a P7P55D instead with some KVR1333D3N9/2G thank you very much.
