Is this not the same as what Bluetooth can do? It's great that they
are trying to get rid of wires but just stick with Bluetooth!

Great! Another proprietary format from Sony

I love my Sony TV. But I will never use the memory stick slot.

I really wish Sony would get behind and support broad based standards and formats.

This is a bit different than Bluetooth. The way you pair devices is you put them in discovery mode and you touch them together (getting them within 2mm of eachother). This is the first I've read about the devices needing to be and inch and 3/4 from eachother in order to transfer, but I might have missed that in my other readings.
