Samsung’s Central Station ⇥

This is certainly interesting. I love the concept, but am struggling to imagine how speedy everything will be, considering it’s transmitting 1080p video, data from up to four USB-connected gadgets and audio via a single USB port, wirelessly. USB 2.0 has a maximum bitrate of 480mbps, but an HDMI cable can transmit up to 10.2gbps. If 1080p video and audio could be transmitted reliably and beautifully over USB, why does HDMI exist?
