Gefen is planning to release a 4 port wireless USB hub. This will support both USB 1.0 and 2.0 and will be compatible with both Windows and Mac OSX. According to Gefen you will get a range of up to 60 feet and transfer rates of up to 70 MB/sec. I can think of one item that this would work great with and that is a printer; it would be a nice way to have a printer that is not tied to your computer and taking up precious desk space. If it was not for the steep $399 price tag this would be a great item to add to your Father’s Day/Graduation wish list.
