Sony just came out with something I wouldn't mind adding to my inventory of audio/visual gadgets. Introducing the wireless TV, or "location-free" TV as Sony calls it. The base station has the tuner and connections for every audio/video source under the sun. The video is beamed to the 12" touch screen so it can be watched anywhere within 50' of the base station. It'll even operate up to 3 hours on its own battery.
I saw this technology demonstrated today and it's cool, but I think it's time to offer this kind of flexibility to existing owners of laptops. All you'd need is a similar base station and a wireless usb or pc-card adapter for the laptop. Why pay $2000 for the system if you already have the display/processor? ATI? Hauppauge? Are you receiving me?
Note: Sony does sell software to use your laptop instead, but you still have to buy the base station and other wireless display first, the smallest costing $1500.
