Belkin Aborts Glossy FlyWire Wireless HDMI Streamer

Seeing it again and again and again but with no real progress ever, I always kinda knew Belkin's FlyWire wireless HDMI box was doomed. Now it's been officially shitcanned by Belkin. Which doesn't sound great for wireless HDMI, actually. [Cnet]

Belkin’s Flywire Wireless HDMI Delayed

Announced at CES 2008, the wireless HDMI streaming Belkin Flywire was supposed to be market-ready by CES 2009. But unfortunately, Belkin has delayed the release until April at the earliest. In the meantime, we're thankful that HDMI is already just a one-cord affair.

UPDATE: Belkin has informed us that while the Flywire has been delayed, it should still be available "late January 2009." [Electronic House]

Belkin FlyWire Wireless HDMI Box Beams 1080p Anywhere in Your House, Looks Fantastic

We first saw Belkin's slick-looking wireless HDMI kit at CES, when it was due in September for about $600. Now dubbed FlyWire (nice and catchy!), they've got two initial entries: FlyWire will shoot full 1080p goodness using the 5GHz band to anywhere in your house, walls be damned, for $999. Plus, it has an IR backchannel for controlling hidden AV devices. Or FlyWire R1 gets you in-room wireless for $699.99.

FlyWire is set for October, though those looking for the mildly cheaper in-room option will have to wait until early next year. Both of them are pricier than Monster's $600 wireless HDMI setup, which is also supposed to hit in October (though it cheats a bit by using UWB-over-Coax to nail whole-home streaming). Check out all the specs below to compare for yourself:
