Yes, bit it works over WiFi ( at least the x86 version does). I was just surprised to see the arm version 'out here' as there are no public ARM devices around?

I was thinking about my own apps in relation to this. I think I would want to go 'more 3d' (albeit in 2d space) but processing wise I'm not sure we are really there yet? (At least en masse)

@Maddus Mattus:definitely, but this could still be a great supplement to a standard UI and the price point makes that very viable.

"Yes! We also support native touch emulation for Windows 8."
And looks to be a sweet price point. (under £50)
Would be good to see how far beyond touch you can take an app with this device (obviously without compromising the touch functionality).
I have applied for an SDK - definitely work a look IMO!

@cbae:Yes, we have a surprising amount in common. (There was a period where Microsoft IDs that used a thrid party email address as the username refused to work - this is when I started Ian2).
On the glasses front I suspect that I will only use the varifocals when I am using WiDi. Ironically after getting the varifocals in order to cut down on the number of glasses I have next to me - at the moment I have three pairs fo glasses on the table next to where I work!
I really like what the WiDi gives me so I hope that this doesn't become an issue.
