Tom, Do you know the names of any of the team at Intel that are working on this technology? Just curious...A friend of mine was interested in the connectivity of Bluetooth to current TV set through device setup with USB. I understand that Brian Gaucher from IBM is looking into this; but I am interested in not only his take on this development; but what may be accomplished by connections to stereo equipment. Particularly, what may happen if digitization of analog becomes the norm; supported by Bluetooth, rather than Audio to MIDI/MP3/4. Engineering of visual circumstances has become commonplace; but not as good as what could be.
Thanks,
Ted
