Question is how close do these things need to be? From the looks of the video, it looks like two devices need to touch. Wires allow transfers even with distance between two objects, so does WiFi.

Yep, they need to touch. The market for this seems to be more for cableless docking/syncing than for constant transfers, which I don't think is big enough, especially given the other techs that are being specced out in the 60ghz range that do allow for decent range and still better than gigabit speeds.
