    And holograms. Where are the holograms?

    Seriously, though - I think this is cool, especially if display manufacturers start catching on and it becomes cheap enough to simply build in. Then it needs to get standardized - and quickly.

    Ahh, this is the sort of stuff tech junkies live for. I'm currently building and this would be a good cable solution for me. As soon as it passes A/H scrutineering I'll plonk the readies down.

    They have announced $999 for the FlyWire this Oct and $699 for the less powerful version available early next year. It's in the article.

    Street prices could be a different story we can only hope. Those are some top bills for the toys.

    This still look very cool! Has anybody had a chance to see one of these at any of the shows? I don't think $1K is a lot of money when you think about now wires and yet still getting full 1080p to anywhere in the house. You can spend many times that with long runs of fiber HDMI cables or even just labor costs alone.
    I'm the child of the household, so why shouldn't I get all the T O Y S
    (my wife just won't let me buy them)

    Default News on availability?

    Anyone got information on when (if?) this product will be released? Belkin's webpage still states 'January 2009' under availability--which we all know didn't happen. The price has also shot up quite a bit since the original announcement...

    How long of a run does one need to make, to consider a long HDMI cable completely out of the picture here... at that price....

    I would think one could rip out drywall, run conduit and refinish the mess for the same price...
