Cut the Cord: USB Runs Free with Freescale

This could solve a problem for me that exists with my USB 1.1 notebook. I run a Kyocera Broadband Cellular card router and share a USB Drive and USB printer over our wired/wireless network. When accessing the printer or USB drive from a later model USB 2.0 notebook, response is painfully slow to unusable. Sharing the printer and USB drive via wireless USB hub could make the devices usable on both computers.

I heart wireless. This rocks. $130 is too much, but it will drop. Screw bluetooth, it sucks and always has. I'm waiting for the day that my PC has no case. CPU over here, hard disk over there, graphics card in the monitor, everything connected wirelessly. Wires suck.

I thought this was a stupid idea, but now I see how it works. Thanks gizmodo.

I want one.... But for $130, I think I can wait for the price drop. I'll get one at $50. Plus, this is first generation hardware; it might be good to wait for version 2, when the bugs are all worked out.

Wow, that looks so not like any VAIO laptop I've ever seen! Well, it's good to know that Apple products aren't the only things manufacturers know how to know to take design cues from :)

I'm curious about the UWB standard, if it'll become mainstream enough to get incorporated inside future laptops, and if it's hackable--I'd hate to have people jumping onto my wireless USB hard drive...
