Fast Wireless Connections Between Pcs And Peripherals Are Coming Tom Krazit, a Staff Writer for CNET News.com had a nice article on how Wireless USB is poised to cut the cable. It is short but very good ... worth the read.

In part, Tom said: The computer industry is still working on the paperless office, but new short-range wireless technologies on tap for next year could at last bring about the cable-free desktop. The PC and consumer electronics industries have been talking up Certified Wireless USB (Universal Serial Bus) links as a replacement for those tried-and-true USB cables connecting the PC to everything from iPods to keyboards. Delays, unfortunately, have plagued more than a few companies trying to make this a reality.

Hmm, if we have a totally wireless desk then we will end up changing batteries every day, that would get expansive when you can buy cables for about £3.00 and they last a long time. Cables are also more secure, no chance for hacking.

I like the idea of wire USB, especially if multiple receivers could share a device, such as printer, scanner, graphics tablet, etc....
