A wireless USB hub - short life or incredible innovation you decide
In a time where everything runs on USB and you keep running out of ports, this is a very cool innovation. The Belkin USB hub is wireless, using Motorola ultra wideband technology (which is said to be a hundred times faster than bluetooth). Think for a second, i could plug in my drink cooler, fan, extra drives, camera and still have them wireless - oh to the endless possibilities...
The other logical question is will USB continue to dominate as the peripheral integration method of choice? Or will a wireless technology or Firewire or something else come of age. With many of today's desktop pc's offering 8-12 usb 2.0 ports is it even necessary?
You decide, Belkin will release this in the next few months prices is expected to be about $130 usd
