HDMI Cable that Can Connect to the Internet!
The capability to connect directly to the Internet is a pretty general idea right? So, let’s be a bit more specific as to what this new HDMI cable will offer. It will come with networking capabilities, Ethernet connectivity as well as Audio Channel connections. This networking capability looks promising with the reported 100Mbps speed.
Just think, with the new HDMI cable you won’t need to log on to your PC or laptop in order to check on your email or simply to browse something on the net!
Thanks for the news but where would this hdmi be connected to!? my router or routers in general has only ethernet cables so i guess a computer is always needed to connet to the Internet through hdmi cables unless of course new routers are introduced.
I believe this version hdmi 1.4 is useless. Companies such samsung and sony should have think of a wireless method to connect to the net through the existing devices most people have at home!
