In a rather telling interview, SiBEAM founder John Marshall (pictured) confessed that it was going after a different market rather than taking on the <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/WHDI/">WHDI</a> (and similar) format directly. He stated that its milliwave'-based WirelessHD technology -- which just received <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/02/panasonic-samsung-step-up-sibeam-wirelesshd-investment/">a cash infusion</a> from Panasonic and Samsung -- "targets in-room use, whereas the others target whole-home use." He continued by noting that it "limit its use to inside a room to make the most of milliwave's properties, without assuming content transmissions through walls." Finally, we're led to believe that certain partners will be making product-based announcements at CES 2009, though judging by the <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/09/ask-engadget-hd-when-will-wireless-hd-hdmi-take-off/">history</a> of cord-free HD, we wouldn't expect anything to start shipping right away.
