A bevy of names in consumer electronics have announced the formation of a consortium called Wireless HD Interface (WHDI) dedicated to the creation of a protocol that’ll send HD audio and video through the air. Meanwhile WHDI absent companies have already joined another bandwagon called WiHD. Can we take another format war?

Does this mean in the future we'll be able to buy speakers with buil-in amps and recievers that can automagically recieve their data straight from the DVD player? All I'll need is 5 (7 or 11) speakers and my WHDI capable Blue-Ray DVD player. Will my projector be able to parse out the video too?

I think that'd finally nail the WAF issue to the wall and allow me to setup a nice cable-less setup.

Buy a new device... stick it in the rack... setup the frequency and away you go!
