Warpia Release StreamHD with 1080p and 5.1 Sound

"Let's try this again, shall we? We were none too impressed with the first iteration of the device you see above, mostly because it failed to support audio. A few generations later, and seems as if Warpia may finally have its ducks in a row. The StreamHD is a USB-to-HDMI adapter, presumably relying on Wisair technology to whisk 1080p content from one's USB-enabled laptop or desktop onto your HDMI-equipped television. It'll handle material with resolutions as high as 1920 x 1280, and we're told that both Hulu and Netflix content will be passed along sans issue."
Engadget have previously reviewed this USB to HDMI wireless adapter and were disappointed with it. Warpia have now upped the game to include 1080p, and just as importantly allow 5.1 surround sound as well. If it works as it has the potential to, then this could be a nice device for those of you who require wireless HDMI.
