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."

good for cameras?

[TheGratefulNet]

I've been waiting for a while now (!) for wireless usb (there are 2 standards, from what I understand) to come out.

I'd like to be able to shoot 'tethered' and not have the camera or the pc know or care that its a wireless link.

not having cords tangle while shooting would be a big bonus; plus I could just upload all my pics to my pc and not care about storage card limits (assuming there IS supported wire-based tethered shooting for your cam; many do not have it).
