I think some people are missing some potential (Score 1)

There's a lot about this system that I think people are overlooking, and that's mainly that it will interface with things like your DVD player or DVR. Picture having a DVD player that has a disc changer in it, especially if it's one that can hold a large quantity of discs. If you could load up all of your favorite movies, or DVD TV sets into your DVD player, you can access them all from anywhere, and have them stream to your laptop or PSP, so long as you have a good internet connection. I don't know about a lot of people, but when I go on vacation, I don't like either paying for too expensive movies in hotels, or lugging my DVD collection around with me. Potentially, with location free, whatever is in your DVD player is accessible on your laptop or PSP. All I have to do is tell my DVD player to change discs. I'm assuming something like that is possible, especially if it can interface with a DVR quite easily. Since the base station can send out infra red signals to your home theater equipment, it should be possible. I think it would be pretty nice to be able to access my DVD collection, or even a portion of it, from anywhere, without having to worry about having the DVD present. You even might have the possibility to do this with CDs (although considering Sony's recent activity I have to wonder if it allows for streaming audio). You could also do this with a DVR, if the hotel you were staying in didn't have cable, but had internet access (like that happens), or if you wanted to access formerly recorded programs instead of the crap that's usually on. You could also use it for the TV streaming functionality. I'm wondering if you could even interface it with say... sattelite radio, if it allows for the transfer of audio. If you have your sattelite radio hooked into your base station, it may be possible just to stream the audio to your PSP or laptop. Personally, I spend a lot of time sitting around campus in between classes, and sometimes I have little to do. Sitting on the library computers or reading magazines gets boring. I wouldn't mind something to break up the monotony of it all. It would especially be nice to get streaming audio, if possible, from location free. The campus is entirely wireless, so I'd have access to my music no matter where I was. Another dumb idea I had (probably because I'm paranoid) is perhaps you could hook it up to some sort of video surveillance type thing, or digital camcorder, and make sure no one is poking around your house while your out. Or get some very interesting ... shows... from significant others while away on business. The possibilities are endless! And yes, I realize I'm getting farfetched now, but I can't help but be ridiculous sometimes.
