    did you know that GSM is used in every market in the world, and CDMA is only used in the US?

    Plus the one on newegg is 2.5", the one in the MBA is 1.8".

    Nobody is going to introduce a HD interconnect that doesn't have DRM. If they did, nobody would sell a HD-DVD or BD player that will output on that interconnect.
    DisplayPort does have plans to work over fiber, which eliminates the problem with balanced lines.
