One Step Closer to No More Wires
Do you hate the rat's nest of wires that clumps behind your desk despite your best efforts to prevent it? I do, too, especially every time I have to dig around to plug something in. One of the solutions to this terrible dilemma, of course, is to remove the wires entirely and it seems like we're moving closer and closer to that blessed, radio-wave-filled future every day.

Today's entry: the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) wireless USB hub Japanese company Y-E Data shipped today. The YD-300 has a maximum range of about 10 meters, 480 Mbpslinks data rate at 3 meters and 4 ports. It's got a power cord, so you don't need to worry about dead batteries, but that also means you're tied to another outlet to get power. Still, it's a big step forward if you've got a lot of devices you need to connect to your computer without being next to your computer.

Also: check out the comments on the DailyTech posting about this hub; they make some interesting points about UWB technology and its potential use for the future.
