Any word on whether they've managed to remove the cable between the headset and the base, or if that's possible/planned? Would wireless make the latency issue too problematic? Looks like it's still there in the picture and it can be a bit annoying in practice.

(I have a Rift dev kit lying idle in South Australia if anyone is keen to try it out or buy it cheap. It's very interesting but I'm not a game developer so not in a position to do more than muck around with demos!)
