WiDi Intel Technogy

When Intel unveiled its newest wireless HD streaming technology (WiDi) at last year's CES we were excited by the possibilities, but were a bit unsure how committed the processor giant would ultimately be to pushing the technology forward. Almost a year later we have seen the capabilities trickle out to a handful of Core i5 and Core i3 laptops, but not much else.
Well Intel finally broke the silence on its future plans for WiDi, and it's full steam ahead for gadgets of all shapes and sizes. Intel is hoping that the technology will eventually be adopted into every netbook, tablet, and even mobile phones in the near future. The optimistic words came from Wireless Display Product Manager Kerry Forrell who says that "we fully expect to take the technology there", but wouldn't commit to a specific time frame.
Taken on its own we would assume this is just a product manager trying to plug his latest toy, but CEO Paul Otellini himself told investors earlier in the week that "what we'll be doing over the next few years is take the Wi-Di capability that's in laptops today and extend that into all the Intel platforms". Forrell clarified that he hopes to see native support in future HD TV's as well, but only time will tell.
Do you think WiDi will ever catch on? Standards put forward by a single company rarely seem to take hold, but if any company has the marketing and financial resources to push this one forward it's Intel.
