The standards-based system allows manufacturers to stream high definition signals between audio/video equipment (TVs, DVD players). The standard calls for link reliability of at least 95 percent, packet error rate of less than 1 in one hundred million, interference resistances for microwaves and cordless phones, and the ability to process three or more HD streams at 10 meters. According to the article, the system will be demonstrated to various manufacturers over the next few months and be available for purchase in November. While this announcement is not related to Apple, recent rumors have indicated that Apple could introduce a wireless video device next week. Of course, if Apple's device is intended to stream iTunes-downloadable movies, high definition video capabilities would likely not be required. http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/09/20060906031010.shtml Wireless HDMI Prototype (High Definition Video)

First Apple was going to buy TiVo, then they were going to build their own, now they are ready to make the leap to HDTV technology. Everytime Apple has an annoucement, everybody says that it's a PVR, but they still don't have one. They will either be really late to the party or my guess is that Steve Jobs is betting so heavily on being a VOD provider that he won't be willing to give up the revenue to the cable companies. It's laughable to think that Front Row users will buy more VOD, in case they miss something, then if they don't have a PVR at all. Without knowing more about how reliable this source is, it's hard to even take this seriously. Haven’t we heard this rumor about 1,000 times already.

Apple has always been on the 'frontrow' with HD technology. iMovie HD came out before HD cams where commercially available. I guess HDMI will be included. No one is buying plasma/lcd TVs if they're not HD ready. What's more, Apple's DVD player is HD compatible already. Regarding HDMI, I guess so.

Apple was also the first to have a PDA, and to try handwriting recognition. :) The Mac mini was always destined to be a living room addition if you ask me. There were also rumours some time ago of the Mac Mini having a built in iPod dock. The size of the machine, frontrow, and even the sudden EyeTV compatibility. <a href="http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore?productLearnMore=TJ827&cid=AOSA30000052946" rel="nofollow">EyeTV Link</a> Remember the Newton.
