I don't trust wireless connections for media. There is always some quality loss, look at bluetooth audio. They recompress before they send the mp3 audio to the headset. More over, this thing might be dangerous for the health, depending on how they implemented wireless...

As far as I know, there were others announced back in January at CES from other big electronic companies so I think this will become more and more popular in the coming future.

Since its maximum range is only 30 feet or so, I'm guessing it's using IR or equivalent harmless transmission (after all, the intended use is for hooking up your home entertainment center without drilling holes and pulling wires, I wouldn't expect it to come with a warning label).

And even if the transmission protocol introduces too much compression for HDMI 4:2:2 recording, it would still be fantastic to check sharps from across the room or send to video village sans tether.

It claims to have "a perfect replication of high definition visuals up to 1080p at 30 fps, or 1080i at 60 fps, and full digital and analog audio support for connecting HDTV sources, such as satellite set top boxes, HD DVD players and gaming systems"

It specifies a "Up to 30 feet line-of-sight wireless operation with 65 Mbps throughput." That's a better bandwidth than HDV's 25, right?

Now, I know that this is from a consumer standpoint. But still, it must be good enough to satisfy videophiles, right? So the quality might still be much better than compressed HDV. Ooooohh!!!
