the distances is probably for security. I can see it now, with the right app all you have to do is walk by someone and u have all the info on their phone.

What about the power usage? It's nice and all to have these wireless chips that can pump bits to no end, but if it's eating up lots of power at the same time I might as well stay corded.

Bluetooth is getting faster all the time - why do we need yet-another-wireless-transfer-protocol that isn't compatible with anything else around? Truth is, we don't - this is proprietary Sony cr@p. Avoid.

375Mbps - not very impressive. That comes out to around 45MB/s, and at an effective range of only about an inch, I would rather just use USB 3.0 - which provides 3200Mbps (400MB/s) and will surely be mainstream well before this Transfer Jet tech is.

I say Sony should increase the range to something that actually makes the wireless part worthwhile, or scrap the whole project entirely.

IR WORKS GREAT ON MY TV, VCR, SET TOP BOX, DVD PLAYER, PS2. AND I CAN BE MORE THAN 30MM AWAY TOO.
IF JT IS GOING TO REPLACE IR, ITS GOING TO HAVE TO WORK MORE THAN 30MM DISTANCE OTHERWISE WHAT IS THE POINT??

This is a neat idea, but the concept comes back to what we used to be able to do with IR ports on handheld device and laptops. Of course in comparison, speeds of transfer compared to IR is way beyond it. So with faster speeds and, easy connection and better compatibility, this will either take off huge or go the way of IR
