The State of Wireless HDMI

CNET's NewsBlog runs an item this morning on some wireless HDMI products that have been announced over the last couple of years with the goal of determining if any of them are actually for sale. The upshot? Nada, at least not yet. The Belkin FlyWire seems to be the best bet although it's not yet available and will run about $500 when it makes its expected debut this October.

For any of you who have a wall-mounted plasma or LCD TV, you know that having a wireless HDMI option would be ideal so that you wouldn't have to worry about running an HDMI cable through the back of your wall to the corner of your room where it then connects to your receiver or cable/satellite box. HDMI has fast become the de facto standard for AV hookups but the wireless angle remains an elusive holy grail.
