It’s kind of cool how it does the wireless display.
Question (it may sound like a noob question), the article says it has a BASIC interpreter, was one available for the Apple I?

I don’t think it was a true wireless display in the way your thinking, but that it creates a modulated analog TV signal that hooks up to the antenna input of a European TV like a vintage computer (with RF modulator) As for Basic, yes Woz wrote the initial Integer Basic for the Apple-1. Amazingly it was hand assembled on yellow pad paper. Before the cassette adapter was ready, he used to be able to type it in by hand, all 4K, without a mistake to very quickly to demonstrate the Apple-1.
