Yes, I know this has been discussed elsewhere, but here is a thought for a manufacturer.
The PC side of the kit consists of:
- a PC monitor video sender (analogue)
- a PC mouse reciever ( Bluetooth?)
- a PC keyboard reciever ( Bluetooth?)
- a PC wireless serial link (Bluetooth?)
operational
range: 10m (30 feet)
The laptop side involves:
- an analogue Video reciever (TV tuner)
- a laptop Mouse-system ( Bluetooth?)
- a laptop keyboard. ( Bluetooth?)
- a DVD Player (optional)
- a PDA port allowing it to provide KVM for a PDA
All this device can do is show video and transmit mouse coordinates and keyboard strokes.
Target price: US$200-300
Target Market: kids, home users etc
Benefits:
Laptop ergonomics with desktop speed (at home)
Laptop ergonomics for PDA data entry (mobile)
Pick up TV or play DVDs anywhere
Longer battery life (?)

Okay, it's not a laptop, stop calling it one. Call it a dumb terminal or something. |
|
| |
The price you've come up with is for the transmitter or receiver? Either? Both? |
|
| |
If I carry a PDA, why would I want to carry this thing as well? If I'm within 10m of the remote device, why not just go to the remote device? What stops me from watching your TV/PC/PDA/DVD? |

1. OK Wireless Terminal
2. Ever tried using PocketWord to write anything on a Palm or PDA?
3. Nothing stops you watching the screen if you tune to that channel. That's why its for parents to buy for kids, at home and not for the office. |

It's so that you can have a powerful but cheap desktop computer but still do your computering from bed or a couch. It would weigh much less than a laptop. I think it is brilliant! :-) |
