Wireless USB hubs

HaggiZ writes "Here is alternative to the clutter of USB cables and keys sitting on your desk. Now Belkin has announced their own wire-free USB setup. It's a wireless USB hub, allowing your to plug devices into the hub and have your PC/laptop elsewhere and not need to worry about running cables along the livingroom or study to reach. Very handy for laptop users, I can imagine some very handy uses for so HTPCs as well. Shipping in spring for a shave under $130."

    Not that I think the latency issues with this device will be bad, just thought I'd point out the error in your 'simple logic'.

    It ensures low latency in the real world - you know that place where we exist. Yeah, they could buffer the transmission for 10 seconds just for the fun of it, but you know what - They're not idiots like some asperger syndrome candidates in discussion threads.
