What we’ve got here is the Warpia StreamHD wireless HD media transmitter and right out of the box you’ll be able to plug in and make it happen, just so long as you’re using a Windows computer and your television is able to work with HDMI, as all good high definition televisions should be these days.

What Kim has for us on stage in NYC at the GSII big reveal event is a look at everything you should expect from the three announced devices today as they compare to the original GSII released a few months ago internationally.
