Actually that is an interesting note, but in this case I don't see why that would be a "good" thing, since assuming you get 24Mbps, that means you are transferring the video in real time! YUCK! A 1 hour video takes one hour to transfer? Unless they are thinking of using this Bluetooth link to link devices for video playback (something that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere) this doesn't sound at all appealing vs. just using a USB cable. That's all assuming the tech works between devices, given the history of Bluetooth inter-device compatibility I have my doubts.
