You can see the links to the Lenovo T61 series here, and the Belkin Wireless USB hub here. For a verdict on how it actually works, you will have to wait until I actually decide to pick up a Belkin hub; obviously the cheaper alternative. However, initial impressions have the Wireless USB solution sounding just like Microsoft’s Surface technology: Could be difficult to pick up on, but once it’s got market share, expect it to expand rapidly. Lastly, I’m hoping they can figure out a way to transfer power to wireless devices, since a majority of the people I know only use USB for their iPods and MP3 players, so it will be interesting to see how the technology adapts.

You fans of wireless devices, whether it be Bluetooth or WiFi, will absolutely LOVE this one. Wireless USB gadgets have been rather busy getting ready to finally eliminate that tangle of wires connecting your PC to everything from a mouse to 
But the future is dependent on stuff actually showing up, and, so far, Belkin and Lenovo are the only ones with named products supporting or featuring Wireless USB. Along with the USB device itself, most (if not all) of the products will come with the Wireless USB dongle necessary for your computer and your device to authenticate the relationship and communicate. At this point, it requires the dongle and user authentication to establish the wireless connection, but skilled crackers could probably hijack the connection and retrieve anything from files transferred to an external hard drive to pictures from a Wireless USB camera. With these issues in mind, the WiMedia Alliance and Freescale are continuing to evolve the security between device and host computer. On a side note, I still haven’t heard anything about power transfer over wireless, so your iPod might have to stick to the wired connection for the time being.
