I've seen a lot of talk about that, but the weird thing in my mind is this: HDMI uses the same format as DVI for the video signal (which is why you can buy HDMI-to-DVI adapters; they just shuffle the pins around like the old 25-pin and 9-pin serial cable adapters we used to use with PC's), but lumps an audio signal in with the video. That's handy for hooking a DVD player or HD decoder to a TV with nothing else involved, but a lot of us (particularly early adopters of this technology) are going to take the audio and video signals in different directions: the video will go to the TV, while the audio will go to a receiver or pre/pro for processing. I'd rather "hassle" with an extra cable for the audio to keep the two signals separate. I can't quite see what all the hub-bub is about HDMI, or why we would want to simply discard DVI and replace it with HDMI. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the two formats over the next couple years.
