So the FCC approved em for general consumption. Assuming they're already available in Europe, anyone know how well they work?

They should have done it over the unlicensed 2.4 Ghz band via WiFi. They obviously ignored my nagging!

Well, since the other thread kind of got hijacked, The Wi-Fi idea sounds good, except would the TCP/IP requirement introduce extra overhead as well as the need for having an IP address assigned? It seems like it gets a bit messy in that case which is probalby why they stuck to using their proprietary implementation. But hey, if it works, cool.

I remember hearing about wireless midi during a news reel, of course back then you could spend a nickel for a news reel and still have change left over for trolley ride to battery park and have a piece of rhubarb pie.
