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. Hooking things up is a lesson in simplicity
(in theory, at least) -- just plug the USB dongle into your Windows
PC, and the transceiver dock into your HDTV. High-def content and 5.1
surround sound should be transmitted, and there's a reported range of
30 feet. It should be popping up any moment now on Amazon for $169.99,
and yeah, that does include an HDMI cable and a S/PDIF cord. How
thoughtful.
