HP touts wireless screens
HP HAS UNVEILED its latest line of wirelessly connected screen display systems. The DreamScreen displays allow users to wirelessly connect systems to a standalone external display. The screen can then be used to display information such as presentations and multimedia files.
The company has also included a number of pre-installed components that allow users to stream data from sites such as Facebook, Pandora Radio and the Snapfish photo service. Additionally, the screen can be connected to a local network to stream photos and multimedia files.
HP hopes that the new systems will allow users to present information and share multimedia files without necessarily requiring them to be near a PC.
"Constant access to friends, information and entertainment is a common expectation today," explained Satijiv Chahil, senior vice president of worldwide marketing for HP's Personal Systems Group.
"With HP DreamScreen, social media, web services and digital entertainment can be enjoyed in more areas."
HP plans to offer a 10in DreamScreen 100 model in the US from early next month at a cost of $249 (£152). A 13in model due later in the year will cost $299 (£183). µ

Checking the specs I find this to be little more than a simple viewer for still images (up to 800x480 pixels).
The only difference between this version and the previous ones is that the regular USB interface has been complimented by Wi-Fi.
@ Mort Stop spamming your cancer non-sense on this web site this is your 2nd post about this in within 3 hours, or if you do back it up with some medical data from a reputable source ie. not Wikipedia other wise F--- off no one wants to hear your flaming
on another note this product seems like a gimmick i think it will die off after people realize that you can buy a 10in. Netbook for the same price
How much Does Dell pay for Liability insurance for thier products???
I suspect it wont be enough, considering these new products will not have been tested for safety (ie wifi/microwave PMR induced Cancers or other health effects caused by PMR(pulsed microwave radiaton) which is worse than smoking(just takes longer to kill you, and wont leave a smoking gun as evidence).
look-ma no wires.....
yeah more like Look-ma Exec's with no brains!(or morals)
i wonder how they manage with regard to interference from all the other wifi rfi products if used in high number close by?
