I have mentioned this a number of times before but the Avocent MPX 1500 series is fully HDMI / HDCP compliant, goes point to multipoint (currently 1 to 8 but expandale via acess points) and has the added advantage of being able to run as a wired solution also. Unfortunately Avocent has a marketing department that seems to think the "if we ignore our customers they will go away" strategy is the proper way to stay in business.
Here is another little fact that didn't make your list:

"When you're the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do - even if that means flying a chef 860 miles.

Chris Sommers, 33, jetted into Washington from St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday with a suitcase of dough, cheese and pans to to prepare food for the Obamas and their staff.

He had apparently been handpicked after the President had tasted his pizzas on the campaign trail last autumn."

Was actually written by The Daily Mail

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1168940/Obamas-fly-chef-860-miles-White-House--just-make-pizza.html

and Jack M. was responding to that story, not creating a scandal out of whole cloth as you imply.
I worked on this project. The 1550 does support audio through the DVI -HDMI connector. It is also HDCP compliant. As far as ghostdoogie's complain, every wireless HD device out there has some form of STB. Samsung and others have said they will integrate receivers into their TVs but guess what - There are no transmitters to support them.
I call shenanigans.

Can you name a product that is actually using WHDI? It may be that Amimon has embedded receivers on TVs but without a working transmitter thats a moot point and there seems to be a problem there, as evidenced by the continual slipping of the Belkin Flywire ship date.

The Avocent MPX series is fully HDMI and HDCP compliant. I worked on the project and we made sure to jump through all the hoops.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
