Here is an interesting article titled Notes from the FireWire Conference Demo floor



A few tease quotes:
Quote:

Wireless 1394 is intriguing. From the user's standpoint, the device works just like an AirPort equipped Mac. Devices communicate with the PC via FireWire with no wire. Intel was demonstrating an HDTV that was being controlled remotely from a FireWire PC

Quote:

Developing an effective wireless interface for home entertainment devices could reap rich rewards as it will fundamentally change how people set up their entertainment centers, stereos and other common household consumer electronics. No more wires in the living room; speakers and televisions using a wireless 1394 connection could be put anywhere.

This is a dream I have had for quite some time. In my dream, there would be no wires in your house except power cords.


WIRES MUST DIE.

That's Apple's dream too... http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif


From the kludge that Intel put together, it sounds like any shipping products are more than a year away and that bandwidth might be limited. But hey, at least they're working on this.
