Google Chromecast WiFi HDMI
Site details the new $35 device. Plug the dongle into an HDMI port and stream video over WiFi. Looks to be app based rather than require android, which is a plus. Biggest drawback that I see right now...

It does screen sharing too (via Chrome on a PC), so technically it can be used as a wireless display device. There is some questions as to if it will be able to Miracast (it might), and some Miracast implementations are pretty low latency (one vendor claims "as low as 20ms"), but it's not clear yet if it will, and if it does, if it's done in hardware or software.
FYI, the WiiU uses Miracast over 802.11n (5GHz) for the WiiU tablet. If you've used one of those, you have an idea about what the latency of Miracast is like.
Interesting. And yeah, didn't read too much into the chromecast.
