Wireless USB hubs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-a-good-idea dept.

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."

    This might be more convenient than daisy-chaining USB hubs for that long run to the webcam in my bondage dungeon.

    Why keep re-inventing the wheel?

    Because we figured out that stone is not the best wheel material.
