Digital Home Thoughts: Fujitsu Unveils Completely Wireless Display

"Fujitsu has unveiled what the company is calling the “world’s first truly wireless display,” using a combination of cable-cutting wireless data and an inductive power system. Set to go on show at CeBIT 2011 this week, and expected to spawn commercial displays “within the next year,” the Wireless 22-inch Fujitsu screens use SUPA (Smart Universal Power Access) hotspots built into desks, countertops and office panels."

While this would make setup and replacement a piece of cake, they are going to face a big chicken and egg problem. Businesses aren't going to buy these until inductive power is standard in workspaces and the lifecycle for most office furniture is measured in decades rather than years (at least at my work, my desk is older than I am).
