Adimos wireless iPod dock

Engadget brings us this Admios wireless iPod from the wilds of CES. In theory, this thing sounds great. It will stream video content from your video enabled iPod to your television using the power of invisible waves. Magic!

Sadly, it is proprietary magic. Now, we Apple fans are no strangers to proprietary gear, however, here's the clincher: in order to use this dock you need to have a television that supports this proprietary protocol. Who makes one? Sony perhaps? Or Panasonic? Nope, no one is making them at present though one model is slated to be available in the future.

Seems to me that this dock is both wireless and worthless.

Ummm, is the company making this dock headed by Bill Gates? This sounds like the duck logic he uses. I saw him in an interview today saying, rather gleefully (I kid you not), that the shortages of Xbox 360s won't be solved until Christmas.. That's right, 12+ months from now.

Pure Genius!

I'm interested in the 'why' of making the dock proprietary. Who does it benefit? Ideas, anyone?

OMFG how riduculous. It's wireless but there's nothing it can stream to?

I'll take my $19 RCA adapter cord any day.

my guess is that they will release some client box that sits on top of the tv. still lame though... just hook up a dock to your tv.
