Intel Demonstrates 220Mbps Variant of UWB

MattyIce writes "InfoWorld has a story about a yet to be approved standard for a high-speed, short distance communications standard. Last year, Intel demonstrated 100MBPS speeds but they have bumped the speed up to 220MBPS this time." Fast stuff, but I imagine it'll be a long time before it comes to market. I haven't even upgraded my wireless network to 802.11g yet!

    Technology keeps outdating itself... but some people can never accept it.

    My $1000 486 10 years ago has seen a 99.9% decrease in value.

    This $20 book published in 1998 has some idiot trying to get $5 out of it.

    I've seen organizations rent computers for $30/month/each just to escape this madness.
