ONE OF THE LATEST NOTEBOOKS THAT PAUL OTELLINI SHOWED OFF in his keynote today was a new Sony notebook featuring "Push 2 TV" technology. The "Push 2 TV" is based on a time slicing Wi-Fi signal which displays your laptop screen on your HDTV. The technology is supported exclusively by the 2010 Intel Core mobile processor family. The delay between the notebook and your television is about 600ms. During an exclusive demo prior to the keynote in Intel's booth, the sound and video were synchronized quite well and seemed extremely easy to operate. 
The "Push 2 TV" is initialized with a dedicated button at the top of the keyboard.
At launch, Intel has partnered with Sony and Netgear to deliver a bundle to consumers. Sony is selling the system under their "S" series of notebooks powered by an Intel Core 5 mobile processor. The notebook also features multi-touch track pad navigation, an ambient light sensor which activates a backlit keyboard in low light. Sony has also included an almost standard HDD shock sensor to protect the hard drive. 
Additional Netgear PTV-1000s will be separately available at a future date at a price of $99.99. The bundle is a Best Buy exclusive at first and will be available on January 17th.
