We must love standards, the way new ones get created at the drop of a hat.
Not sure why USB 3.0 wouldn't be applicable here. It would provide
for power as well as any control and audio/video signals (either
compressed or uncompressed), small plugs usable with cell phones,
etc. Maybe they're after new IP.
My guess is that the interface will rely on the the mobile device to
decode the audio and video, and thus carry high bandwidth analog
signals. Or it could be uncompressed digital connecting to an HDMI
port.
In any case, new devices - like the Zune HD - are hitting the market
with options to connect to a TV and the interfaces are proprietary...
A standard might be useful, however it may also need to harmonize
with the new connector standard that will allow universal power
adapters for cell phones.
I this case it looks like the standard is being pushed by Silicon
Image. Happens all the time...
