Anyone have any experiences (good or bad) with Wireless USB?
kyrathaba:
From Dell Wireless USB Station page:
Wireless USB is a new type of short-range, high-bandwidth wireless networking technology. It transfers large amounts of data wirelessly over short distances and at a much faster date rate (480 Mbps) than Bluetooth or WiFi.

Anyone tried this? Comments?
Carol Haynes:
Looks very expensive for what it does and if it only works properly within 1m I can't personally see the point?
Why not just buy a powered USB hub and a 2m cable ?
kyrathaba:
Yeah, I'm now looking at universal docking stations that work with a single USB 2.0 connection to your laptop.
kyrathaba:
I was hoping for a dedicated dock for my Inspiron 1545 (so it'd be charging my laptop battery while I'm plugged in), but no such luck. So it's either a universal USB dock, or nothing.
Renegade:
+1 Carol.
$400 is pricey.
For that price, I'd want USB dongles for the 4 devices instead of running cables to the hub. Like really! Isn't the point of wireless to get RID of cables? That just reroutes them a bit. It doesn't eliminate cables.
(Am I missing something?)
