Ultra Wideband Hub Coming in October
Dhiram writes "Japan based Y-E Data Inc. has announced the development of the "Wireless Hub" based on UWB (ultra wideband) wireless technology. It is the first UWB commercial application announced. The Wireless Hub mounts a UWB wireless communication module, as well as four USB ports. It comes with a USB dongle with UWB connectivity which connects to the PC. Other USB peripherals can be connected to the wireless hub, which then connects to the PC through UWB and has an effective data rate of 100 mbps over a 10-m distance without obstacles."

There seems to be a lot of useless technology in the news today. The New York Times is covering a breaking story about downloading movies http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/31/technology/31bas ics.html?ref=technology.

I can't wait until my neighbor gets one of these so I can check this out!
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?
Y-E Data may be OK for some, but I prefer the English firm Y. E. Olde Data Shoppe.

Everybody wants to send data through my grey matter. It hurts, dammit. Wi-LAN is bad enough (have it at home) and I use it knowing that I am subjecting my cells to radiation they were not made to survive in. Now they want me to send data at USB 2.0 speeds through the air, and my brain? I like my cables, thank you very much. /*searches for old tinfoil hat
I once tried a wireless mouse. The only good point of it being wireless was that I could throw that piece of crap through the window without damaging my computer. USB will rock for many years to come.
