Sony Starts a Standards War Over Wireless USB

Stony Stevenson alerts us to news out of CES that Sony has kick-started another standards war, this time over wireless USB. Ars notes that Sony "[never was] one to settle for an open standard when the opportunity to push a proprietary alternative presents itself." Sony's TransferJet technology uses low-power UWB at very short distances to transfer data at a nominal 520 Mbps. Almost every other large technology company — including Intel, Microsoft, HP, and Samsung — has embraced the W-USB standard, which promises transfer speeds of 480 Mbps at distances up to 3 meters, vs. TransfeJet's 3 centimeters.

    Well, step aside my friend
    I've been doing it for years
    I say, sit on down, open your eyes
    And open up your ears

    Say
    Put a tree in your butt
    Put a bumblebee in your butt
    Put a clock in your butt
    Put a big rock in your butt
    Put some fleas in your butt
    Start to sneeze in your butt
    Put a tin can in your butt
    Put a little tiny man in your butt
    Put a light in your butt
    Make it bright in your butt
    Put a TV in your butt
    Put me in your butt
    Everybody say

    I, hey, that's, man, I ain't putting no trees in nobody's butt,
    no bees in nobody's butt, putting nothing--

    Cause y'all gotta get some kind of money

    I'd rather golf, to be perfectly honest,
    than put somethin in somebody's butt
    to be truthful

    Well step aside my friend and let me

    Put a metal case in your butt
    Put her face in your butt
    Put a frown in your butt
    Put a clown in your butt
    Sit on down in your butt
    Put a boat in your butt
    Put a moat in your butt
    Put a mink coat in your butt
