INTEL WIDI WINDOWS 10 DISCONTINUED PORTABLE
We're thinking that WFD might even have applications as a replacement for portable media players devices like those from Western Digital.

Intel has discontinued marketing and development for Intel Wireless Display (Intel WiDi) and Intel Pro Wireless Display (Intel Pro WiDi) applications.

According to some vendors at MWC though, WiDi isn't exactly power efficient feature, which is why WiFi Alliance has stepped in with its proposed 802.11-based wireless display standard (WFD).
