"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. But by the end of this year, the products that rid your desktop of that tangle of wires should finally start hitting the market."



This is just what we need. Smartphone manufacturers haven't even standardized on the physical USB connector, they haven't adopted USB 2.0, Bluetooth is flaky at times and soon we may have different kind of connectivity woes.

Oh yes, I agree, there's enough trouble with bluetooth, usb, and all that goes with them. I would love to be wrong, but something tells me that there's just going to be problems. Just as it is now, problems pairing, problems communicating, problems syncing, problems working.....sure bluetooth is great when it works, I love USB, but still, call me negative, but I see bad stuff happening.
Hopefully I'm wrong. Smile
