Panasonic unveils wireless HD video system
Hmm, there are some implications here for telehealth that I don't think Panasonic thought of??
Matsushita Electric Industrial's Panasonic unit said on Sunday it developed a system allowing consumers to send high-definition video to a television from a video player or gaming console without cables.
The system is based on a technology called "WirelessHD" that enables high-definition video transmission without compromising quality.
Users of the new technology could hang a high-definition television on a wall, far from a digital video recorder or disc player, without running wires between the products.
Panasonic did not give details on which of its products would be fitted with the technology, or when it would be widely available. The announcement was made here at the Consumer Electronics Show.

Companies including Panasonic, Intel, LG Electronics, Sony Corp, Samsung Electronics and SiBEAM have been working together to develop the WirelessHD platform, hoping that it will become an industry standard.
And on another note Skype and Sony gives me some interesting ideas on telehealth too?
Sony: Skype coming to PSP this month

The rumors were true: Skype is coming to the PSP. The leading voice-over-IP phone service will be made available to PSP users worldwide in a free firmware update scheduled for later this month. The catch? The service will only work on the new Slim PSP model, not the original bulkier "PSP 1000" (which, as of fall 2007, is no longer produced). The press release lists the other obvious caveats: you'll need to have access to Wi-Fi; have a Skype account (it's free, with paid upgrades for calling to and from non-Skype numbers); and a Skype-compatible "audio input device" (a headset).
