802.16, mobile WiMax, sometime.

you...
Multimedia port standardization is all fine and dandy, but what I want is a wireless multimedia standard. If I want to watch TV on my PC or view my PC screen from my TV there should be a wireless standard for swapping input devices.

802.11n, a,b,g successor, should provide enough bandwidth for the home if we ever see it. Of course this does nothing to unhinge DRM as it will undoubtedly be required in any setup that's used to view protected media. It would be nice to get rid of all those nasty cables, but who knows how well wireless will work? Right now if you keep your cables under 30' in length most cables will transmit a very good picture whether analog or digital. Long runs of HDMI cables can cause trasmission problems.
