Kensington: World's First Universal USB Wireless Hub

081908_an_kensington_usb_wirelss.jpgWhy deal with plugging and unplugging your USB peripherals each time you want to use them? With Kensington's Wireless USB Docking Station, you can gain quick access immediately when you're in range. Simply plug all of your USB devices (and external monitor if you wish) into the hub and boom! Immediately gratification!

Apple should so do this. And begone will be the problems with Macbook Pro docking. Of course, we'd guess it will cost about twice as much...

This is really a revolutionary technology, especially for AT-ers. If I understand this right, you can get your monitor on a desk and leave the actual computer in a closet, or somewhere (within 15 feet) that is hidden and out of the way. It's not completely wireless, but it's a great start to uncluttering your desktop!

Good God, if Apple could throw in some firewire, and -hell lets just go for it- a chargable surface into a package something like the space station... I'd even put off waiting for my jetpack.
