I'm far from an expert on these things, but surely the "designed for streaming" shouldn't have anything to do with the wireless technology - that should just make sure the data gets there.

A friend of mine was telling me how he was working on Quality of Service stuff for IPv6 - i.e. if you're transmitting a file, you want perfect quality but aren't TOO bthered if it slows down for a bit and if you're watching streaming media you want continuous transmission, but can cope with a dropped frame or two.

Isn't this where this sort of things belong? It shouldn't matter what low level protocol you're using - wires, WiFi or whatever.

Standards - they're always a joke. I wonder what propriatary standard Sony will use to compete with this? :lol:
