Just what we need, another wireless standard. This one will probably stick, because it's brought to us by the USB folks. It makes similar promises as Bluetooth for short distances to eliminate the wires between the desktop, and the peripheral like the printer. With the spaghetti I have out the back of my computer, this would be a very good thing.
"Product development is currently underway," said Jeff Ravencraft, chairman of the Wireless USB Promoter Group, "with the first Wireless USB products expected to be available at the end of 2005."
Essentially an extension of the popular USB 1.1 and 2.0 desktop busses, Wireless USB is designed to be backwards compatible with existing wired USB hardware by adding external adapters.
