Sony and Others Form TransferJet Consortium to Make Short-Range Wireless Tech

Sounding like a challenge to Bluetooth, Transferjet will apparently operate at a theoretical 560 Mbps rate. Plus it could allow pairing as simply as touching two devices together: your camera could display pics on TV simply by sitting it atop the screen.

With big players like this aboard though, other wireless data systems must be feeling the pressure. Press release below.
