Scotty, Warpia My A/V - or Perhaps Video Only?

"Source R&D, a premier technology provider, announced today the availability of the Warpia Wireless USB Audio/Video (A/V) Display Adapter based on Wireless USB technology from Wisair, a leading provider of single-chip based Wireless USB solutions. The A/V Set enables users to enjoy watching and sharing any PC and Internet content wirelessly on a Flat Screen TV, projector or monitor, including HD movies and streaming Internet video."
This is a computer-to-display wireless kit that uses an USB adapter / transmitter at the computer, and a receiver / adapter at your display. It seems like primarily a business presentation product, but most computers have DVD, or even Blu-ray players, so home use is also possible. Note that Warpia sells two similar products, available either direct or from select resellers: one is video only, while the other provides both audio and video. User feedback, on Amazon, is very good for the A/V version, but mixed for the video only version, albeit with only a handful of users for either. In any event, be certain to select the model that fits your needs should you decide to purchase! Would this, or a similar product, have any appeal to you for home use?
