Internet and PC Usage Trends Call for Wireless Laptop to TV Connectivity

– Internet has become the number one source for video and other types of content. Watching online video outranks many other online activities
today (amongst American adults, more than 60% of Internet users watch video online). Television channels, news clips and a myriad of video clips, from pure fun to product user guides, all are available at online popular sites such as YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Video, MLB, etc. Recently, for the first time for a show this size, a U2 concert was streamed live online and about 100 million users watched it in its entirety for free… on YouTube!
– Laptop PCs are more popular than desktop PCs. The market share for laptops is increasing at the expense of desktop PCs.
– Laptop PCs screens have become smaller. While mobility is enhanced with smaller-sized laptops/netbooks, it becomes ever harder to watch ontent for a long period of time or share content with others, due to small screens.
– Laptop PCs store personal information. Photos from our digital still cameras, clips from our camcorders – they are all stored in our laptop PCs.
– HDTVs have become affordable and very popular. With their digital interfaces, flat TVs, which are now commonly found at homes and offices alike, enable new user experience and displaying of content far beyond traditional TV channels via cable or terrestrial broadcast.
