>Technology is where it is today and I am wondering why do we still have to plug a HDMI cable from the tablet to the monitor to get the image. Why isn't this wireless? Or, is this technology already avaiable? If not, what would make it not possible?
Wireless connections would certainly be more convenient, but I'd think they could be a pain to troubleshoot the more devices you have. And we're not talking about just *your* devices, but anything within range. Automagic operation is certainly convenient and desirable (from an enduser viewpoint) -- at least when it works as expected. It would be when it does something unexpected it could be a pain to troubleshoot. Physical cables are prone to clutter, but at least you can trace them and probably a tad less prone to interference.
