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."

    Surely with a clever enough driver, you could tunnel USB traffic over 802.11 (or even over TCP/IP).

    Oh yeah... that's what I want... kids trying to hack my fucking mouse.... riiight... (Actually, I don't have any USB devices at all)
